La Corbière Lighthouse
La Corbière
A white lighthouse on the rocks at the southwest corner of the island. It stands isolated at high tide, while at low tide you can walk out along a causeway. It is Jersey's most iconic sunset viewpoint.
La Corbière Lighthouse was built in 1874 and is one of the earliest concrete lighthouses in the British Isles. It stands on tidal rocks at the southwestern tip of Jersey. At low tide, a causeway leads on foot to the foot of the lighthouse. At high tide, the lighthouse is surrounded by the sea, and warning alarms are installed at the causeway entrance, so be sure to check the tide tables and return within the safe window. The clifftop viewing platform and car park are popular spots for photographing sunsets and crashing waves. The lighthouse interior is not open to the public. Admission is free, and Bus Route 12 serves the area.
