Sports and leisure

One of our staff nurses enjoys snorkelling on a reef, just yards from his own front door. Another has recently bought a motorbike - something she admits she would never have considered before coming to Guernsey.

There’s an island frame of mind - laid back, yet adventurous - which drives people to try new things. A group of our Irish nurses have formed a ladies Gaelic football team and played fixtures in mainland Europe.

Besides making the most of the bays and beaches, there’s plenty more to do outside - including fishing, sailing, surfing, riding, golf and low-tax shopping.

Indoors, you’ll find live music, theatre, movies, museums, galleries and a leisure centre. Local restaurants offer a remarkable range and quality of eating for such a picturesque fishing town.
