Alderney Guide

What is there to do in Alderney?

Unprepossessing in some parts and naturally beautiful in others, Alderney has split opinion since its provenance. In the summer time the island appears like a setting from a film; beautiful beaches decorate the coastline and endless verdant hills slink and slope along the horizon, carrying keen hikers hoping to explore the undulating landscape. With so much to see there is a longing to discover every crevice that comprises Alderney, though as you can imagine, most tourists and locals congregate by the beachfront when the weather allows for a day in the great outdoors. A short stroll up from the heavy sand and you’ll find a host of cafes, restaurants and pubs, bound together in a stream of sanguinity. It’s not just the waterfront which hosts a selection of amenities, the capital of St Anne is home to colourful houses lined on cobbled streets, each pathway leading to a pub or eatery. Whilst the entire town has the feel of a quintessential seaside resort, there is also an old-school-cool look to the shabby buildings and rustic architecture.
