Things to Do on Sark
Cliffs, coves, dark skies and the paths between.
Everything on Sark is a walk away, and the walks are where the best of the island happens. Where to swim, where to sit, and what the night sky does when nothing else is lit.
- 01
Walking Sark
Walking on Sark is not simply a way to get around. It is how the island's lanes, cliffs, beaches and scale become connected.
- 02
Cycling on Sark
Cycling on Sark is not about covering distance quickly. It is how a small island opens into a network of lanes, headlands and choices.

La Coup茅e
The only land route to Little Sark, sea falling away on both sides. Crossed on hands and knees before the rails, concreted by prisoners of war in 1945.
- 04
Little Sark
South of La Coup茅e, far fewer people make it to Little Sark: a silver mine that ruined a Seigneur, a 4,800 BC settlement, and natural pools in the rock.
- 05
The caves of Sark
Sark's coastline changes completely with the tide, nowhere more than in its caves. The Gouliot Caves, the Boutiques and how to see them safely.
- 06
The Venus Pool and wild swimming on Sark
The Venus Pool is only uncovered around low tide. How to time the walk down, what the rock is like underfoot, and where else on Sark you can wild swim.
- 07
Sark's beaches
Sark's beaches sit below the island's cliffs, reached on foot and changed by every tide. The walk down is part of what makes them different.
- 08
Sark after dark
Sark became the world's first Dark Sky Island in 2011. With no street lighting, night changes how the whole island is experienced.
- 09
Sark Henge and the Buddhist Rock
Two modern additions to Sark's landscape show how the island continues to place new meaning into old ground.
