WELCOME

SARK CROSSING • A blade of rock rising from the sea, La Coupée is Sark’s most dramatic landmark – a narrow isthmus linking Great Sark to Little Sark, with sheer drops plunging to turquoise water on either side. It was once so perilous that children crawled, rather than walked, across it to get to school. A stroll along the crossing is now a rite of passage for visitors to this beautiful island. Just a short boat ride from the larger Channel Island of Guernsey, Sark is car-free and known for its dark skies and wild cliffs. Visit to discover its quiet walking, sea air and stunning views – to find out more, go to sark.co.uk.
