Focus on: St Aubin

Indulge your artistic side and take a wander along the harbour at St Aubin.

Stroll across the road from the bus stop or car park and start with a dress-up session at contemporary fashion boutique Chi-Chi, with its unusual labels, vintage sunglasses and sparkling jewellery. If you’re in the mood for some alternative shopping, the next-door antique shop Lovejoys is perfect for browsing through quirky antiques and bric-a-brac. Make a coffee stop at Murray’s, and catch up with the papers or check your emails, and then wander around the corner for some women’s fashion and jewellery. Bargain-hunters won’t want to miss the Glad-Rags boutique just across the road, crammed full of pre-loved designer clothes, bags, shoes and jewellery. Back at the harbour, stroll along the pretty quayside to the Harbour Gallery. A fantastic space dedicated to local art and craft, this is the place to buy original paintings, hand crafted home accessories, unique fashion and jewellery pieces and some beautiful alternative gifts. There’s a café on the first floor where you can sit, enjoy the view of the harbour and soak up the artistic atmosphere. And if you’re feeling inspired, there’s also plenty of art and craft materials available to buy, so you can take your own sketches of St Aubin home with you.

Time for lunch? You’re spoilt for choice in St Aubin, the harbour is lined with a whole array of popular restaurants, where you can settle back and enjoy a seafood platter and sparkling sea views.
