Vazon Bay

Vazon Bay is a broad sandy beach on Vazon Road in Castel, Guernsey. The open shoreline has an active, sport-focused character and attracts people taking part in surfing, kite flying and bodyboarding. The beach provides plenty of room for both beach activities and watching the action from the sand.

Surfing is a central part of the bay’s identity. Guernsey Surf School operates from Vazon Bay and offers instruction for all ages and ability levels, making the beach a setting for both experienced surfers and people starting out. Bodyboarding and kite flying add to the range of activities associated with the bay, particularly when conditions suit those sports.

The beach also has places to eat at either end. Richmond Kiosk sits towards the western end and caters for lighter refreshments, including snacks and ice cream. At the eastern end, Vistas and Crabby Jacks offer a broader food choice, with rooftop dining available for meals overlooking the beach. The combination of sand, watersports and nearby food venues gives Vazon Bay a straightforward, informal day-out appeal.

Vazon Bay is listed as family friendly, while the food venues at the eastern end are also described as suitable for families. The bay works for visitors interested in active time by the water as well as those looking for a beach setting with refreshments close by. Its character changes with the conditions, from a place to watch surfers and kite flyers to a base for lessons, bodyboarding or time on the sand.

Information on swimming times and ease of access is available through the VisitGuernsey app. Bus routes 42, 62, 91 and 92 serve the area. Vazon Bay is located at Vazon Road, Castel, GY5 7LL, making the address useful for route planning before a visit. Food, lessons and activities are provided by separate businesses at the bay, so arrangements such as bookings and specific requirements are best checked with the relevant venue directly.
