Excursion Guernsey coast by bike tour at Saint Peter Port

Depart the pier on a minibus for a short drive to the west coast area of Perelle where your cycling experience begins. Cycle through the internationally protected area of the Shingle banks, Lihou Island and the Colin Best nature reserve before reaching the magnificent beaches on L'Eree bay. Continuing your route along the quiet seafront, pause at the fine sandy beach to explore the numerous bunkers built during the Second World War. Enjoy coastal views out to the Hanois lighthouse, Guernsey's sentinel, guarding the Hanois reef that has claimed countless ships passing the West Coast.

Head back inland through the 'Ruette tranquilles', tiny lanes where horses and bicycles take priority over motor traffic. The route winds past meadows full of wildflowers and quaint cottages that dot the country lanes on the gentle return to Perelle, where the cycle tour ends, and a minibus waits for your transfer back to the pier.
