This photograph shows Rocquaine Bay at sunset, with the tide coming in. See the boats on the sea and the people fishing from the pier.
Two fortresses look over the bay from each end, which were adapted from Nepoleonic times for use by the German Occupying forces during the Second World War. Many of these fortresses can be found still standing all over Guernsey and the other Channel Islands.
This is a good place on the island to go rock climbing, if you're into that sort of thing, as when the tide goes out many rocks are uncovered, which are ideal for climbing. However people should be careful of the tide turning, as it can return very fast leaving unaware people stranded on the rocks.

Situated just round the corner is Lihou Island - a small island which can only be reached at low tide via a long causeway. Visitors are welcome to walk around it when the tide is right as detailed in the local paper.
