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
Suitable for smaller cruise vessels, the harbor is a tender port.
Some 80 miles off England’s south coast, Sark is the smallest of the four main Channel Islands. Only three miles long and a mile and a half wide, it nevertheless has 40 miles of what must be among the world’s most picturesque coastlines. With no cars, Sark has a quite unique enchantment whose spell brings visitors back for holidays year after year.
Nearby places
The nearby island of Herm can only be reached by ferry. It is a small, beautiful island with lovely beaches.
Money
The Channel Islands are in currency union with the United Kingdom. Guernsey and Jersey pounds are not separate currencies, but local issues of pound-sterling-denominated banknotes and coins, similar to notes issued in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Public holidays match those in the UK, with Liberation Day on 9 May added.
