Hello ! The shops are just a few minutes from the dock. It's only a small town,so most sights are within easy walking distance.

As the other poster said...yes,you can wlak into town..great little place to visit,wonderful shops even though I was there on May 1st and nice places to eat..at least some were open that day.There is a tour you can take outside of town..I did not so cannot say if good or bad. Enjoy your port day there...make sure to notice the tide/boatsand quay when tide is in and out!!!

Nice little town, everything is within walking distance. We took the public bus our to Fermain (about a 15 minute ride for 1€ per person) and walked the sea cliffs back into town. A beautiful day.

Don't know what day of the week you're there, but be aware that almost all of the shops are closed on Sunday - but the pubs are open!

Thank you all for your comments, most helpful. we were looking forward to a shopping trip, but it will be on a Sunday when we go.

Yes the town is across the road from the port.

 

Just wanted to point out that Guernsey isn't French it's British. The currency is the British pound £. I think that some of the shops will take Euros but didn't try this out when we visited in June.

The shops accept euros BUT the change is in local currency which cannot be used any where except Guernsey. Town is charming. There also is a hotel w. a lovely terrace if you desire Lu ch w. a view.

 

We very much enjoyed the small but authentic museum focused on the

German occupation.

They do have their own version of the £ but be aware if you go to other parts of the UK they probably will not accept the Guernsey £. You can ask for change in non-Guernsey bills.
