beaches
Coast to coast With numerous bays, beaches and coves to discover, here are our firm favourites…
Anne Port
Grouville
Green Island
This small secluded bay, found at the north-east of the island, has a combination of pebbles and fine sand. Limited parking means the bay is often quiet, but parking can be found just a short walk from the beach.
Archirondel
Known to locals as ‘Long Beach’, this stretch of sand is calm and sheltered, making it ideal for swimming. There are plenty of water sports on offer during the summer including water skiing and wakeboarding.
Green Island
Havre des Pas
Named after the grass-covered rock just off the coastline and accessible at low tide, this beach is situated at the southerly tip of the island. Here beachgoers can enjoy silky sand, rock pools, gullies and clear waters.
Archirondel
Grève de Lecq
Found on the east coast, the unspoilt beach and spectacular views of St Catherine’s make it a popular destination for locals and holidaymakers alike. Access isn’t easy and the pebbles may prove problematic for wheelchair users.
Stretching between the parishes of St Mary and St Ouen, this is the most accessible and frequented beach on the north coast. Visitors can enjoy sandy shores with safe swimming during the summer months.
Beauport
Grouville
Beauport Surrounded by cliffs, this sheltered sand-andpebble bay is accessed via a steep wooded incline, which means it’s rarely overcrowded. Its pristine water makes it perfect for snorkelling.
