Probably the most popular beach on Herm Island, this sweep of golden sand stretches almost three quarters of a mile from a rocky point all the way to the end of the island, and curves round into dune-flanked, often deserted sandy bays. Shell beach is aptly named, for if you look closely you'll see millions of tiny shells washed up by the gulf stream.
Despite its popularity, Shell beach rarely gets crowded as there is plenty of space for everyone, even at high tide.

Herm, one of the smallest of the British Channel Islands, may be small, just one and a half miles long and only half a mile wide, but the scenery and natural beauty is wide ranging. It varies from woodland to open fields and gentle hills to golden beaches.
There is so much to see and do on Herm Island. Watch the wildlife on the foreshore, swim in crystal clear seas, and discover a shady spot under granite rocks on a beach. Herm's size means there is no need for a car, yet even at the height of summer there the island never seems crowded. There is always a quiet corner away from it all.
The 20 minute boat journey from Guernsey takes you to a world away from hustle and bustle and gives you a taste of island life and a chance to unwind. Bring walking shoes as the way to see and explore this island is on foot.
