Vazon Bay, Crabbies, as it’s fondly known locally,<br />
is a quirky restaurant with an informal setting<br />
boasting good food, attentive staff and a large<br />
outdoor play area for children to let off steam.<br />
Looking for some good pub food? The Imperial<br />
serves modern British food alongside sea views and<br />
offers a fantastic children’s menu without making you<br />
feel you’re in a British version of Chuck E. Cheese’s.<br />
It’s just a short stroll from the beautiful yet often<br />
overlooked Portelet Beach. Afterwards the little ones<br />
can explore Fort Pezeries on the way to the Table des<br />
Poins – the Fairy Ring – to seek out the fairies, witches<br />
and elves of local folklore. Guernsey Pearl and Fort<br />
Grey Shipwreck Museum are just up the road too.<br />
With a long and very rich history, Guernsey’s not<br />
short of museums and heritage sites to keep young<br />
minds busy. Explore the battlements and enjoy breathtaking<br />
views towards the other islands as you take<br />
in Castle Cornet in St Peter Port, which has guarded<br />
the island’s harbour for 800 years. Or head to Candie<br />
Gardens with a picnic and visit the museum before<br />
relaxing in the historic gardens.<br />
Guernsey Museums has over 70 historic sites in<br />
its care ranging from Neolithic tombs built over<br />
6,000 years ago through to German fortifications<br />
constructed during the island’s Occupation by<br />
German forces during WWII. Decide which ones you<br />
need to see at museums.gov.gg/sites.<br />

There’s an abundance<br />
of other activities<br />
to keep the little<br />
ones entertained –<br />
sightseeing tours on<br />
the Petit Train, candle<br />
making at Guernsey<br />
Candles, mini golf at St<br />
Pierre Park’s Pirate Bay<br />
to name just a few.<br />
And if you’re raising<br />
mini thrill seekers,<br />
head down to Karting<br />
Guernsey on Victoria<br />
Avenue and see who’s<br />
got the best driving<br />
skills in the family, or speak to Guernsey SUP or<br />
Guernsey Surf School about some holiday lessons in<br />
the water. For something you can’t do just anywhere,<br />
book in with Outdoor Guernsey and try your hand<br />
at coasteering – a unique adventure sport where<br />
you’ll experience the thrill of sea level traversing, rock<br />
scrambling, jumping and swimming in gullies and<br />
caves. It’s certainly a new way to see the island.<br />
Guernsey also plays host to a fantastic variety of<br />
events from classic car shows and scarecrow festivals<br />
to live music, agricultural shows and regattas. For a full<br />
list of summer events taking place on the island go to<br />
