COVID-19 TRAVEL UPDATE

From 1st June 2020, Sark will open its border to the other Bailiwick Islands of Guernsey, Herm and Alderney which shall mean that the residents of these islands will be able to travel to the other islands within the Bailiwick.  This is thanks to COVID-19 being brought under control within these small islands.
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 dear friends we will keep in touch through our social media channels and our website.

COVID-19 Travel – Further Update 23 May 2020

Further to our post yesterday announcing Sark’s opening of its border to the islands of Guernsey, Alderney and Herm on 1st June 2020, we have some further information for the residents of these islands who wish to visit us.
We note from the posts received on social media that there is some concern that Bailiwick residents would need to go into isolation after visiting Sark but this is not the case.  The travel restrictions between Sark and the other islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey were self-imposed in order to safeguard the older demographic of our island.  Sark is now lifting this self-imposed restriction so that travel between us, Guernsey, Herm and Alderney is now permitted and no self-isolation rules will apply post travel to Sark.
You can book tickets to travel with Sark Shipping by telephone from Wednesday 27th May onwards.  Their telephone number is 724059.  We are expecting the first scheduled sailing to be 1st June.  You can only book by telephone as Sark Shipping will need to take details from you to comply with Border Control Agency safeguards.
Social distancing will be maintained throughout your journey and your visit to the island.  Sark Shipping will offer guidance as to seating arrangements, all harbour staff will wear gloves, carters will wear gloves and only handle the suitcases.  Your hand luggage, will need to be handled personally by the owner and no-one else.
There will only be a limited number of people carried on the tractor bus for each journey up Harbour Hill.  The cost of the tractors will be included in your ferry fare.  The tractor bus driver will give you further direction upon arrival but you may need to be patient in waiting for the bus to make as many round trips as is necessary under the new social distancing rules.
You will need to pre-book carriages and bicycles as there will be rules in place to ensure there is adequate social distancing between non-households.  These rules will be rolled out to Sark businesses early next week.  Therefore, if you intend to pre-book these services, please do so only after you have booked your ferry ticket.
We hope to provide a full list of all the facilities that will be open on Sark by mid-week next week.  Unfortunately, at this stage the pubs will remain closed.  As soon as this changes, we will issue a further update.

Welcome to the Official Sark 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.

Beautiful Birds

Every year Sark becomes home to a large variety of birds.  The sea birds occupy the cliff edges, the rock stacks and islets that surround the island.  You can hear their cries and calls all along the cliff paths. Normally, this time of year, George would have his boat in the water enabling visitors get up close to birds such as puffins, guillemots, razorbills, oyster catchers, gannets, egrets, a myriad…
