Grève de Lecq
A small sandy bay on the north coast, enclosed by cliffs, with a 19th-century military barracks ruin and a seaside café. It is a rest stop on the North Coast cliff path.
Grève de Lecq is one of the few sandy bays on Jersey's north coast that can be reached directly by car. Tall cliffs rise on either side, and when the tide goes out, the beach becomes wide and open, making it good for swimming and paddling. Behind the bay stand barracks built in the 1810s to defend against Napoleon. These are now managed by the National Trust for Jersey and open to visitors. There is a café and a car park by the sea. The bay serves as a starting or ending point for the North Coast cliff path, which runs to Plemont or the Devil's Hole.
