Fermain Bay

Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful of all Guernsey bays, Fermain sits on the east coast, south of St Peter Port. It is fairly wide, with tall cliffs at either end, and is reached in a vehicle by way of a steep, winding road.

Fermain bay from the cliff path

It makes an excellent stopping off point when walking between St Peter Port and the Jerbourg Peninsular as the cliff paths lead down to it from either direction and then continue up the opposite side.

Fermain appears in book 1, Dead in the Water, as the location where Christine Le Page meets Ross Ferbrache of the Guernsey fire service, after Miles Bichard dispatched her to find out more about the fire in Marc Renouf’s house.

What's this all about?

This web site, and its contents, are here to support The Sarnian, a series of books set on and around the Channel Islands, and Guernsey in particular. It started as a means of keeping track of each character so that their features, loves, desires, abilities, looks and so on didn't change from book to book and has grown to become a complete encyclopedia of the series. Unless otherwise stated, the images included on this site were taken by The Sarnian author, Nik Rawlinson, who is also the author of the content.
