Boutique Caves
The Boutique Caves are at the north end of the island and can be explored at any low tide. The first tunnel is 200 feet long and leads into a lofty middle chamber with a sea view. The dry areas are said to have been used by smugglers in past times for storage.)

Navigation through the caves is awkward at times but two different routes can be taken. Either approaching from sea-level, working through the system and climbing-up and out onto the headland; or it can be done in reverse. Careful consideration of the tide needs to be given to ensure adequate time to get through the caves. The exploring of these caves should only be attempted with an experienced guide.

The beautiful Eperquerie Common lies at the northern tip of the island. In spring bluebells and primroses abound, followed by gorse, purple heather and minute rock plants. The first colonisers landed here and it is also the site of the butts and parade ground of the old Sark militia. In clear weather there are fine views of Alderney and the French coast.
Le Bec du Nez is Sark's northernmost outlying rock, and referred to by old Sarkese as the Oystercatcher's rock. At this point in 1839, an earlier Seigneur of Sark was drowned after putting to sea in unfavourable weather conditions. His close friend, the Vicar of Sark, having witnessed this disaster, was subsequently left with such a terror of the sea, he refused to leave the island for the remaining 38 years of his life.
