About

Dip'n'Dine is a free-to-use online guide to Guernsey venues where visitors can combine swimming with dining. Established in 2023 by Matt Thornton, the site includes hotels with pools, cliff-side cove cafés, and sea-swim locations such as Rocquaine and Portelet. It features an interactive map and provides details on pool-access conditions for each venue. The site offers opt-in email updates and publishes a machine-readable venue dataset, handling personal data under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017.
