Get outdoors.
With its Atlantic coastline and epic sweeping beaches, embrace the elements with a bracing winter walk by the sea. The wide sandy beach of St. Ouen’s Bay is a mecca for locals whatever the weather. When the wind’s blowing in the right direction, watch the kite-surfers riding the wind along the water’s edge, and see the breeze whip up the beach into rippling sand snakes.

A popular local route is through St. Catherine’s Woods, taking you across steppingstones and through tree-lined valleys in this picturesque part of the island.
