Jersey Beaches

Plémont

Overview

Plemont is a sandy cove on the North West tip of the island flanked by soaring cliffs and pitted with caves and rock pools. Plemont is a firm local favourite, sheltered by tall cliffs and washed by gentle surf. Low tide reveals hidden caves for a fresh adventure and young ones can explore rocky pools with sandy bottoms. Check the tides before journeying to Plemont to time your beach adventure just right. At high tide the sand is covered, and locals move up to the rocks where the RNLI lifeguards watch over the beach all summer.

Parking

Limited parking in the lower car park, at the top of the steps which lead down to the beach past the cafe. Ample parking in the top car park by the bus stop. There are a number of steps that lead down to sea level, but it is well worth the walk

Buses

Route No. 8 runs up through St. Peter's Valley from St. Helier.

Toilets

There are public toilets close to the café at the top of beach steps

Bathing safety

There is safe bathing when the sea is calm, but only for the strongest of swimmers when an Atlantic swell brings breakers rolling in. Lifeguards are located at Plémont during the summer months.

Disabled access

Sadly due to its location there is no disabled access to the beach, café or toilets

Please note

Dogs must be kept on a lead between the hours of 10:00 – 18:00 between May and September, outside of this time dogs are free to roam the beaches, however please remember to pick up after your dog, and leave nothing behind but your footprints.

Grève de Lecq

Overview

This sheltered north facing beach is fringed with wooded slopes and leafy country pubs. Doze on soft golden sand with a good read before dipping in balmy local waters. It’s easy to find a parking spot and there are laidback beachside cafes with every facility along the sunny boardwalk. Launch out on a kayak to discover secret beaches just around the shoreline. The high surrounding cliffs block out the sun in the late afternoon, when you can retreat to a friendly country pub for a crisp Jersey cider, just a short stroll up a leafy road.

Bonne Nuit

Overview

Nestled in the North coast, this tiny fishing port is sheltered by green cliffs with a small sandy beach. This is the perfect place to roll out a family picnic or sunbathe to the soothing sound of fishing boats clinking in their moorings. The bay is North facing so you will lose the sun as it sinks below tall cliffs in the late afternoon, but linger a while longer for a slow sunset on summer nights.

Bouley Bay

Overview

Bouley Bay is a tiny harbour on the North Coast flanked by green cliffs with a sandy shelf descending into deep blue waters. A rambling slope winds its way down towards the bay to reveal a deep anchorage and the home of Scuba Diving in Jersey. The pebble beach shelves steeply into deep waters best enjoyed by stronger swimmers. It is the perfect spot to explore our underwater world with trained Scuba Diving professionals. Jutting out over the bay is Fort Leicester, a medieval fort with a modern interior that can be let out from Jersey Heritage for a quirky self-catered stay.

Rozel Bay

Overview

Rozel Bay is a beautiful fishing port nestled in Jersey’s north east, sheltered by green rolling hills and dotted with dinky cafes and harbourside restaurants. Low tide reveals a small expanse of beautiful white sand with tiny fishing boats stranded on its banks. Many are drawn to this blissful scene to pass a quiet afternoon over cloudless views of the French coast. Rozel is more of a traditional harbour than pleasure beach, and you will lose the sun in the late afternoon. Retreat to a friendly harbourside pub for a Liberation Jersey Ale, or take the rugged footpath up to an ancient dolmen site for an early chapter in our island story. Lift your spirits in the cheery little cafe, The Hungry Man, daubed with lively artwork brought to life by an island artist, where you can enjoy a famous ‘Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Explosion’ or a hunger-stopping breakfast with family and friends.
