This beach is a hidden gem! There is no designated path, so you'll need to find your own way to the pool. There is no cell phone signal near the pool. The pool is affected by the tides and can only be accessed when the tide is below 5.7 meters above chart datum.

It's definitely worth the trek to get to this beach. It takes about an hour round trip, but it's such a fantastic spot.

The beach is still exotic in February, especially when it's sunny. It's even better when the weather is warmer, but keep in mind it's only enjoyable below half tide.

This beach is amazing and definitely worth a visit. It can be a bit of a scramble, but if you lose the path, you're heading in the right direction.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Venus Pool (Guernsey) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Venus Pool (Guernsey) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Venus Pool for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
