Jersey is well-known for it's sun, sea and sand so in this video we show you the very best of Jersey's beaches.
00:11 Grève de Lecq beach is on the boarder of the parishes of St. Mary and St. Ouen. Its golden sand, easy access and great facilities make it the most popular beach on Jersey's north coast.

00:37 Archirondel is a small pebble beach tucked away down a little lane in the north-eastern corner of the island. The bay faces East, making it perfect for a swim at sunrise. One of its most recognisable features is the Martello Tower which was originally built for artillery soldiers and has now been refurbished into holiday accommodation.

01:02 Heading South around the coast the next bay you come to is Anne Port, another pebbly beach popular in the early morning for those heading into the water. At the southern end of the bay is a rock face known as Geoffrey's Leap where legend has it criminals were executed by being thrown into the sea.

01:27 Officially named the Royal Bay of Grouville by Queen Victoria, this beach is more commonly known by locals as 'Long Beach'. With Mont Orgueil Castle at the Northern end it runs down the east coast of Jersey. Easy access and shallow water make it great for swimming although at low tide there's a long walk to the sea due to large tides.

02:02 At the Western end of the south coast is Portelet bay, with golden sand and clear shallow waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Portelet isn't easily accessible, but the adventurous are rewarded with amazing views! The most recognisable aspect of the bay is "Janvrin's Tomb" where a local sea captain, who's ship returned carrying the plague, is laid to rest having not been allowed to return to shore.

02:40 Ouaisne is a sheltered beach where you can swim safely. Kismet Cabana serves street food with live music in the summer. This area has historic links with smuggling and the pub in the bay is called the "Old Smugglers Inn".

03:05 The island's most recognisable and popular beach is St. Brelade's Bay, with its white sand, safe, clear waters and palm-fringed promenade, it was voted in the top three best UK beaches on TripAdvisor. Its shallow waters make this beach the ideal place for swimming and water-sports.

03:48 Beauport Bay is hidden just around the headland to the West of St. Brelade's but once you're there, it feels a whole world away. Getting there is an adventure in itself, down a steep pathway and steps from the small car park at the top but the climb down (and back up again afterwards) is definitely worth it. A strip of golden sand backs onto a pebble bank and the area directly behind the beach is a nature reserve. The crystal clear water here is perfect for swimming and a popular spot for boats. The lack of facilities here all add to the charm!

04:30 St. Ouen's Bay is the longest beach in Jersey and spans almost the entire west coast. With miles of clean white sand there's plenty of space for everyone. The rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean make this the best spot for surfing in Jersey and it even boasts one of the oldest surfing clubs in Europe. With its westerly aspect St. Ouen's is the place to be at sunset to relax and watch the sky turn golden over Corbiere lighthouse and La Rocco Tower.

05:20 Plémont, in the north west corner of the Island, is shouldered by high cliffs which house the Jersey's largest caves. The beach is hidden entirely by the sea at high tide and there's only a small window to enjoy golden sand and clean rock pools before the sea returns. It's accessed by a long staircase.

Spoilt for choice 😍

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Exactly! Making this has inspired us to switch it up a bit more than we usually do!

[@rondunn4336]

Back in the summer season of 1961 I enjoyed Portlet beach every day. Interesting to see all those rocks. In those days only soft sugar sand. Must have been some powerful storms since then eh?

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Again we’re loving this. Our favourite is definitely Plemont. The caves are just stunning and it’s a huge Sandy beach too. Thanks for sharing x

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Thanks so much guys 💛

Thanks Richard

I just was there last week, the weather was cold and rainy most days, but I still managed to visit 5 of the 10 mentioned beaches, and enjoyed walking around them and on the cliffs. and i had 1 nice day with sun and some swimming

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Sounds great! Shame about the delayed Summer though. It's been scorching the last few weeks. Sunset swims for the win!

[@CG00001]

Plemont and Long ought to be the best beaches in my opinion 🤩

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Yes, two great ones! Thanks for watching 😁

For those that enjoy swimming in warmer waters, does the water get warm in the Jersey summer months? Thank you!

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Hi! The average sea temperature peaks at around 19C in mid-august. 😊

[@freebigups1018]

I want to take my family there

[@AdventuresinJersey]

You definitely should! 😊

[@terrychapman5335]

You'll need a second mortgage to afford taking your family to Jersey. Aim for the Mediterranean instead, guaranteed weather and better value. Jersey is OK for day trips or weekends. Look bargain weekend breaks which include accommodation.

[@StanOwden]

May anyone tell me if there is a Portelet Hotel still up and running. I've stayed in it back in 2008 I think. Right on top of the Portelet Bay. I can't find it anymore. I do remember it was going to be refurbished soon after we left it. Is it running under different name now or am I wrong all the way and it wasn't Portelet Hotel there in the first place?

[@AdventuresinJersey]

Hi Stan, we’re not sure. There is a great pub right on top of Portelet Bay called the Portelet Inn, they may have had rooms to stay in at some point but not currently.
