Ouaisne Bay

Ouaisne is adjoined to St Brelade's Bay and connected at low tide. Access is only from the eastern end, where the car park is situated.

The beach faces south-west and is sunny and sheltered. Some patches of lovely sand, but much remains rather wet after the tide has receded.

On the headland above Ouaisne is Portelet Common, a 77-acre/31-hectare reserve rising 200ft/61m above sea level. Its northern edge overlooks the low-lying L’Ouaisné Common, where the habitat beside the beach is quite different. Sitting at sea level and separated from the beach by a sea wall, L’Ouaisné is a protected area – so please keep to pathways.

How to get there:

Sorry, there are no buses. You can either walk across the beach from St Brelade's Bay or catch the Portelet bus and walk down the hill. For full details please visit www.libertybus.je
