Petit Bot Tearooms — Restaurant in Forest

Safe swimming at all states of the tide, just stay away from the rocks at either side of the bay. Sandy at the top of the beach and lower down too but has a band of stones across which can catch the unwary when the tide is in. Nice rock pools along the edges of the bay and usually a family of ducks to keep the kids entertained.

Unless the wind is coming from the south you'll be well sheltered from all other wind directions due to the steep sides of the bay.

Tea room and restaurant at the head of the bay serves reasonably priced food and refreshments. There are also toilets adjacent to the Tea room.

There is a Martello tower which is open to the public across the road from the Tea room.

A word of warning: There is NO level access to the the beach which is accessed down a steepish ramp and then over loose...

Petit Bot bay is one of the nicest little bays on the South East coast of Guernsey. Situated south of St Peter Port. Quite a steep but very scenic walk to the bay. Parking is available nearby. Lovely kiosk there too, just up the road from the beach. Seems very popular with locals and holidaymakers for a nice early morning swim Also great for kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach kiosk is run by friendly staff. Good choice of homemade cakes, drinks and snacks available. If you're cycling down to the bay, be prepared for the short steep climb back up. Looks worse than it...

A beautiful beach full of family memories. Slow sloping beach with safe swimming. Lots of soft sand that is perfect for building castles. Dozens of rock pools full of different marine life to be explored, nets and buckets are a must! A fresh water stream that runs onto the beach from the surrounding cliffs makes for some striking views as it runs off the rocks, through the garden of the cafe and onto the beach itself.

There is on road parking nearby but I would advise going early in peak season as it...
