St. Martin's Point Fog Horn, Guernsey
The St. Martin's Point signal station blasting off it's fog horn on a foggy day. If you go down to it when the fog horn is going you will need ear plugs because it is extremely loud. It's position is 4925.30'N 00231.30'W and it is situated at the bottom of the cliff, below Jerbourg car park, in St. Martin's, Guernsey in the Channel Islands and is an aid to navigation at sea.
You can get to it by walking down the cliff path from Jerbourg car park which involves going down about 250 steps or a flatter but longer walk from the path by L'auberge Divette Restaurant.
The fog horn sounds three times every 30 seconds. There is a split white and red light on top of the roof which flashes 3 times every 10 seconds and can be seen up to 14 miles away. If you are at sea and you see the white light you are safe to continue, but if you can see the red light you will soon be hitting rocks.
The post with LP on the top is Longue Pierre rocks, some dangerous rocks which are exposed at low tides and have a very strong tidal flow around them on spring tides.

Foghorn short Short 210223
The Castle Light House Foghorn Short From Citadel of Castle Cornet on the 21 February 2023.
“For a lot of Channel Islanders, a foghorn is a distant, soothing, and nostalgic sound,” I'm sure a lot of Guernsey expats will enjoy this one for the sound they no long hear where ever in the world they are.
Trinity House switched off most of it's foghorns around Britain and Guernsey in June 2011 But Guernsey Harbours have kept these working (thank you Guernsey Harbours)
I found this in an article in the Telegraph
One of the last remaining active foghorns is the “Lowing Cow”, at the Platte Fougère lighthouse one mile off the coast of Guernsey. In bad weather it booms defiantly, every 45 seconds, as it has done for the past 104 years.
Despite looking I could not find any other nicknames for Guernsey fog horns if you know of any post them in the comments

Guernsey's South Coast from the sea
A video showing the south coast of Guernsey from the sea.
Starting from Jerbourg and St. Martins Point on the south east corner of Guernsey we move west along the coast and the main bays and the world war 2 German bunkers are shown and then it ends with the Les Hanois Lighthouse which is almost 2 miles off the south west corner of Guernsey. All places shown can be easily walked to on Guernsey.

Les Hanois Lighthouse, Guernsey
A video of Les Hanois Lighthouse which is situated almost two miles off the south west corner of Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
It has a helipad on top and there is an older concrete helipad built on the rocks near the base of the lighthouse. There are other facts added on the video.
Time Lapse of Fog Rolling Off a Cliff at Jerbourg, Guernsey
An awesome time lapse video of fog rolling off the top of the cliff onto the sea at Jerbourg, Guernsey. This day it was very strange, as the rest of the island was completely clear and sunny and only Jerbourg was covered in fog.
This was filmed on a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, using the hyperlapse feature and set to the maximum speed of 32x. It was filmed on the 16th February 2017 from by Castle Cornet and over a period of 37 minutes. The audio includes the sound of some Turnstone birds which are common in the area.

Signal hill St Johns on a fog-horn foggy day
Truly reminiscent of what it was then, during the war, for the soldiers on this Hill. Lonely, serene, cold, dank... until the canons opened fire...
