Sark (French: Sercq; Sercquiais: Sèr) is a small island, located at about 49° 25' N x 2° 22' W. It is one of the Channel Islands, and is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It has a population of 610 as of 2002. The small island is a car-free zone, where the only vehicles are horse-drawn vehicles, bicycles, tractors, and battery-powered buggies or motorized bicycles for elderly or disabled people. Passengers and goods arriving by ferry from Guernsey are transported from the wharf by tractor-pulled vehicles. Sark's main industries are tourism and finance. Although many people think so, Sark does not have many tax immigrants.
Geography
Sark consists of two main parts, Little Sark and Greater Sark. They are connected by a narrow isthmus called La Coupée which is just nine feet wide with a drop of 300 feet either side. Protective railings were erected in 1900; before then, children would crawl across on their hands and knees to avoid being blown over the edge.
There is currently a narrow concrete road covering the entirety of the isthmus, built in 1945 by German prisoners of war under the direction of the Royal Engineers.
