When the sun graces the skies, there's no better way to meet Herm and its celebrated puffins than by renting a paddleboard or kayak to skim alongside its shores; those who prefer to remain on land can try their hand at archery or engage with interactive quizzes that whisk you on a clue-hunting journey across the island.
"Here you can enjoy delicious food and Herm's very own golden ale at The Mermaid Tavern and courtyard, or stock up on little treasures and souvenirs at the Herm Shop," advises the island's website.
"Herm Island is a magical place," proclaims the Channel Island's website, adding, "Every inch of the island is steeped in history and mystery.".
Spanning a mere 2,100m by 800m and housing around 60 residents, Herm's compact size lends itself well to its enduring ban on motorised and pedal-powered transport, making it feasible for locals to get around on foot.
"This is where you can make a home from home, enjoy barbecues in the courtyard, and truly feel part of the island community," beckons Herm.com.
