Why visit Sark when you can invade it? That is what a lone ranger decided in 1990 but his plans were foiled by the volunteer constable on duty. Perhaps it is best to just check into a hotel after all, as tempting as it is to be the ruler of 2 square miles of island.
A large percentage of the 600 inhabitants make a living from tourism.
Tourists come to the island to do island stuff. You can hang about by the harbour and do an Otis Redding, watching the ships (okay boats) roll in and then watch them roll away again.
A brisk walk up the steps to the lighthouse are sure to help build up an appetite for lunch. Later, you can earn your supper, by walking from Greater Sark to Little Sark and back again over the isthmus. An isthmus is a narrow piece of land connecting the two big bits.
Horse and carriage rides are always a winner whether for romance or fun with the kids.
Herm, like Sark is another of the Channel Islands. Visit Herm for more non stop action and excitement. Ok, seriously, play a game of tennis, walk on the beach, go fishing or read a book in front of a cosy fireplace.
Knock back a few pints at the pub and keep drinking until you get hungry. Have a pub meal and another one for the road.
Pounds are accepted on either Island and they are part of the Guernsey administration, although Sark is a dependant of the Crown.
