Herm

The small island of Herm lies about 3mi/5km northeast of St Peter Port. Although the resident population is only about 100, Herm attracts up to 3,000 visitors a day during the summer. The island has a hotel, a number of old stone built houses converted into holiday homes, and a camp site. Many species of rare flowers and plants thrive in the moderate climate; also, more than 200 different kinds of shell are found at Shell Beach on the north coast.
