Bear in mind that Guernsey is only 12 miles across at it's widest point - Sark is only 3 miles by 1 1/2 - not even a dot on a map!
If I remember correctly it's about 5 or 6 miles East of Guernsey and about 15 miles from Jersey. It's actually 2 islands, joined by a causeway built by German prisoners after WWII. If my memory is correct the Channel Islands consist of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Herm, Sark (and Little Sark), Jethou, Lihou & Brecqhou

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

Sark is a short boat ride from both Geurnsey & Jersey, you can get day trips from both of these islands to Sark, also Herme & Alderney. These 3 islands are exceptionally pretty & don't alow motor transport on the islands. Well worth a visit, some lovely beaches including a beautiful shell beach

Sark is, I believe a very small island, such that people always advise you to wear headgear made of an animal skin if you say you are going there:
Me: I'm going to Sark for my holidays
Them: Wear the fox hat, then!

Some people just don't get it do they?
Well, you know Sark is one of the Channel Islands, so I'm not going to tell you that, ah whoops, I just did. I think it is on maps but soooooo tiny that you can't see it with a naked eye.

Well you know it's a CI. I think it is quite close to Jersey and Guernsey but not sure of the exact distance or anything.

Sark would appear to be too small to mention.
(I am sorry if my answer sounded too Sarkastic.)

It's a very small island.
That being said it is a VERY beautiful place to visit. Good things DO come in small packages!
