Braye Bay

There are approximately 70 yellow mooring buoys for visitors and a very convenient water taxi to take you ashore on arrival. Both are chargeable but worth it for the peace of mind of a safe mooring. There are no pontoons available, and sleeping on board can be challenging if the wind is in the wrong direction, but it’s a great place to stop with a welcoming and helpful harbour office.

Longis Bay

This popular beach is protected by an anti-tank wall built during the German occupation of the Channel Islands during the Second World War. The Nunnery Heritage Site is the best-preserved small Roman fort in Britain and also worth a visit. This is a lovely spot during the day with good views across to France and the Cherbourg peninsula.
