Coast
Every beach in Jersey, and which one to choose
Jersey’s beaches come in four kinds, and they face four different ways. The west is one enormous Atlantic beach with surf and sunsets. The south is a string of sheltered, sandy, family bays. The north is deep coves cut into the cliffs, each with a fishing harbour and a fort. The east is flat and tidal, with the sea disappearing over the horizon twice a day.
Every one of them is a stamp in Jersey Quest — the Coastal collection — and a few carry rare cards, because reaching them takes a tide table or a long flight of steps.
As a quest in the app: 13 stamps to collect.
Cards within reach: Coastal Trail (13/14), Bergerac: Season 1 (3/8), Bergerac: Season 2 (3/8).
West — surf and sunset
St Ouen’s Bay is five miles of sand facing the open Atlantic. Surf schools at Le Braye and Watersplash, lifeguards in season, strong currents outside the flags. La Pulente at the southern end is the quiet corner with the tower in the sea.
South — sheltered and sandy
The family beaches. St Brélade’s Bay has everything; Ouaisné has fewer people and a Neanderthal cave in its cliffs; Beauport and Petit Port have nothing at all except sand, which is the point — you walk down a steep path to reach them.
North — harbours under the cliffs
Pebbles rather than sand, deep clear water, and a road that winds down to each one. Bouley Bay is the diving spot, Bonne Nuit the prettiest harbour, Rozel the one with the best view of France, Grève de Lecq the only sandy one.
East and town — tidal flats
Wide, flat, and gone at high tide. Havre des Pas has the Victorian bathing pool, Grève d’Azette has Victor Hugo’s rock, Anne Port has Mont Orgueil filling the view.
