Hommet Herbe/Houmet Jerbe is a small rocky tidal island located 200 metres to the west of Grandes Rocques. Access to the island is across a field of large boulders. Flint and prehistoric pottery has been found on the island. The island is composed of a very attractive pink/apricot coloured granite. Golden and grey-green lichens grow on the rocks. Autumn squill, rock samphire, sea campion and thrift all grow on Houmet Jerbe.
