St Ouen's Bay
An 8-kilometre stretch of Atlantic beach on the west coast, a surfing mecca for Jersey, with dunes, Second World War bunkers and sunsets that make for a wild landscape.
St Ouen's Bay covers almost the entire west coast of Jersey. Its roughly 8-kilometre beach faces the open Atlantic, and its consistent waves make it the surfing centre of the Channel Islands, with several surf schools. Behind the beach lies the Les Mielles dune nature reserve. Along the coast are German Second World War bunkers and gun emplacements, some of which are open to visitors. Cycling or driving along the coast road is pleasant, and the sunsets here are at their most beautiful. Currents are strong, so swimming should be confined to the areas marked by lifeguard flags.
