Strände auf Jersey

Best Beaches & Bays

Jersey’s coastline offers diverse geological features, from the five-mile Atlantic surf of St. Ouen’s Bay to the sheltered, south-facing sands of St. Brelade’s. The island experiences one of the highest tidal ranges in the world, which dramatically alters the landscape twice daily. This selection includes Victorian lido architecture at Havre des Pas, hidden sea caves at Plemont, and the tranquil fishing harbors of Rozel and Bonne Nuit along the rugged north coast.
