The 90-minute flight from Manchester Airport that takes you to a stunning island beach
14.05.2023 - 07:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
With another bank holiday weekend coming up at the end of the month, summer just around the corner and long school holidays on the horizon, thoughts turn to golden sandy beaches and sunny getaways. A trip away is a chance to completely unwind and create happy memories with friends and family.
Staying on an island with pretty coves and crystal clear waters sounds like a dream holiday. But it’s one you’d expect to involve expensive flights and a long journey.
Yet you can actually visit a gorgeous island much closer to home. Guernsey is the second largest of the channel islands and you can fly there from Manchester Airport in 90 minutes - quicker than getting the train to London.

The island boasts dozens of beaches, from vast sandy bays to sheltered coves. Cobo Bay is one of the island’s most popular beaches and could easily double for the Caribbean on a sunny day. Located on the north-west coast of the island, it has a long stretch of white sand and, at low tide, several rock pools you can explore.
If you fancy somewhere off the beaten track, then Fermain Beach is the one for you. It’s a small pebble beach surrounded by cliffs and woodland and it's accessed by boat or via a cliff-top path.
Found on the south-eastern side of Guernsey, this one is perfect if you want to escape the crowds. After going for a dip a visit to Fermain Beach Cafe is a must.
Beaches aside, the island is only 27 miles away from Normandy, France and offers an interesting mix of British and French culture. As a self-governing Crown Dependency it’s not part of the UK, although the British government does oversee certain aspects.
This means that you don’t need a passport to visit
