Lissroy is sometimes referred to as a peninsula and sometimes as a tidal islet linked to the tidal island of Lihou by a shingle ridge. Lihou and Lissroy can be reached via a stone causeway from the western coast of Guernsey at L’Erée at low spring tides. The Lissroy shingle bank is an important bird nesting site for gulls and oystercatchers, so access to it is prohibited from 1st January to 1st August. Lissroy is part of the Lihou Ramsar (wetlands of international importance) site. The island is covered in grass, brambles and bracken.
