Banquette Bay is the name for the triangular area bounded by Sark and Brecquou on two sides, but there are two bays worth mentioning as potential anchorage's:

1) Port a la Jument - close north-east of the Gouliot Passage - anchor in 3 m, shingle.

2) Saignie Bay - immediately north of the high rock pillars of Les Autelets.

Sheltered from most winds except from the SW, and big spring tide swell, this popular anchorage is sometimes crowded during high season and week-ends. Several permanent moorings present are available to members of the Sark Yacht Club, thus to non-members anchoring is obligatory,  holding in 3 - 8 m is only moderate to good, due to the amount of wrack.

A low water ladder, half tide landing  and steps are to be found tucked away in the SE corner of the cove. with the obligatory and ubiquitous steps and zig-zag path leading up to the Pilcher Monument and a friendly pub beyond

A much favoured anchorage by visiting British and French yachtsmen during easterly winds, possibly due to its easy access. Anchor under La Coupee in 4 - 5 m, sand and shingle, taking care to avoid the two boues which dry 1.3 m and 1.0 m respectively.

Strenuous access up the west side of La Coupee is possible by climbing several hundred steps and zig-zag path, at the top of which the visitor is rewarded by magnificent views,

Port Gorey

The small indentation forms a pleasant anchorage in fine weather. At the mouth of the cove there is 11 m, sand but further in there are scattered boulders and sand in 3 - 4 m sand.

There is an iron ladder attached to the rock landing on the southern side, leading to the sloping path to the top of the hill, whilst next south is a deep gully ideal for swimming and diving.

Rouge Terrier anchorage is immediately north of the Moie de Breniere and close to the shore in 4 - 6 m, sand and good in settled weather.

There is a zig-zag  path up the cliff where there is an excellent hotel restaurant within a quarter of a mile.

Situated next to Derrible Bay, this is probably the most popular anchorage on the east coast of Sark, much favoured by Jersey and French yachtsmen.

Accessible steps at the top of the beach leads to a pleasant walk through the Dixcart Valley to nearby hotel restaurants and to the Avenue containing most of the islands shops.

Between Dixcart and the south side of La Coupee, several caves can be explored by dinghy if the tide is at the correct height, from 3 hours after HW until LW. On a rising tide with a swell present , spectacular blow-holes are operative, caused by the swell and the compression of the air in the concave roofs of the caves, occurring between half-flood and 1 hour before HW.

A good anchorage when not affected by swell, situated between Derrible Point and  Point Chateau.  Anchor in 4 m, sand anywhere in the bay.

Situated NW of Point Robert Lt. House, this pretty anchorage is very suitable in SW winds or quite weather. Anchor in 4 m, close to the pebbly beach.

Land in the SW corner of the Bay leading to a steep winding path to the top for those wishing to discover the Sark hinterland. For those wishing to stay on the beach a pleasant hour can be spent exploring the foreshore, including the Chapelle aux Mauves (Seagulls' Chapel).

The bay provides shelter for a couple of boats in S - SW winds. Anchor in 5 m sand where the S end of La Petite Moie touches Banquette Point.
