The southeastern tip of Guernsey provides great views of the Normandy coast, Jersey, Sark and Herm on a clear day. Head to the southernmost tip for a look at the Les Tas de Pois d'Amont – six rock formations resembling monks. Jerbourg Point is also the starting point for a wonderfully picturesque coastal hike all the way to Pleinmont Point, some 14km away.
