Herm

Herm extends 2.4 kilometers in length and 800 meters in width, featuring white sand beaches along its eastern coast and rocky cliffs on its southern shore.

Archaeological discoveries indicate that hunter-gatherers settled on Herm during the Mesolithic period, approximately 10,000 years ago, leaving behind numerous stone tools and artifacts.

The island maintains a population of 65 residents who preserve traditional ways of life without automobiles, creating a close-knit community centered around the harbor village.

Visitors reach Herm via a 15-minute ferry ride from Guernsey, with accommodations available at the White House Hotel or in various holiday cottages throughout the island.

The White House Hotel operates without televisions or telephones in its rooms, maintaining a deliberate separation from modern technology to ensure complete disconnection.
