Making the most of Sark
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
The harbor is suitable for smaller cruise vessels. This is a tender port.
Sark is the smallest of the four main Channel Islands, located some 80 miles off the south coast of England. Whilst only three miles long, and a mile and a half wide, it boasts 40 miles of what must be one of the most picturesque coastlines anywhere in the world. There are no cars, giving Sark an enchantment which is quite unique; its spell draws visitors back for their holidays, year after year.
Nearby places
There is also another island close by, which you can only reach by ferry, that is Herm. It is a beautiful small island, with lovely beaches.
