Walking
After arriving at Herm's harbour, you can explore the island on foot. Herm is small, covering only about 1.5 square miles, so walking is the best way to take in the stunning views. Follow the signs to Shell Beach or Belvoir Bay, both of which are beautiful spots to relax. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain can be uneven in places.
