COVID-19 TRAVEL UPDATE
Sark’s border is only open to the other Bailiwick Islands of Guernsey, Herm and Alderney at this time.
Unfortunately, at this stage, Sark (along with the other islands of Guernsey, Alderney and Herm) are NOT able to welcome visitors from outside the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
As such we ask our wonderful visitors from our sister island Jersey, the UK, France and elsewhere around the world to bear with us and as soon as the rules change we will let you know and welcome you to Sark. Until then please keep in touch through our social media channels and our website.
For anyone thinking of travelling to Sark on private boats or yachts from anywhere outside of the Bailiwick of Guernsey (Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Sark), please note that you will be arrested and your boat impounded. Breaching Sark shores under current circumstances will be treated as a serious offence.
For more information on this phase or regarding the grouping of various countries and counties, please go to https://covid19.gov.gg/guidance/travel. For the UK and Ireland specifically, go to https://covid19.gov.gg/guidance/travel/countries.
Travel arrangements must be made in advance with Sark’s Pandemic Emergency Committee. You cannot travel to Sark unless you are an ordinary resident of Sark. For further information please telephone the Chief Secretary Zannette Bougourd on 01481 832118.
Welcome to the Sark Tourism Website
Sark is the crown jewel of the Channel Islands, nestled in between Guernsey and Jersey. Car-free with spectacular scenery, bays, coastal paths and cliff top views. Sark offers a truly unique holiday experience for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. Whether you walk, cycle or take a tour on a horse and carriage, you will be creating memories that will last a lifetime.
We have no street lights to pollute the skies and Sark became the World’s First Dark Sky Island in 2011. If you are staying overnight, you will be able to see the majesty of the stars, as long as the clouds allow. You could visit our observatory which is open nightly or upon request and learn more about the stars, constellations, galaxies, milky way and much more.
Just under one hour away from Guernsey and Jersey by ferry, we’re quick and easy to get to.
Sark Visitor Centre is situated at the end of The Avenue in the village centre. The staff will be able to help answer any queries you may have with their wealth of knowledge of Sark. There are various displays on the walls imparting lots of information about our island and leaflets for all sorts of things such as self-guided walks, best bays and beaches for swimming, historical notes, nature identification sheets for children and much more.
