Shell Beach

Reviewed By daleboy2019 - Bristol, United Kingdom

A beautiful beach of soft light sand, which extends across the northern coast of Herm island. The water temperature was still somewhat cold during my visit, but waters are clean and crystal clear. The beach has a gradual incline and reaches about 1.5m depth around 100m out at low tide. Be careful as there is a slight rip current where two waters meet on the eastern part of the beach where there is a sand spit protruding into the sea; it may be unsafe for small children. Overall a great experience

Beauport Beach

This is a small beach on the southwest of the island. Easy to find if you google it. Beaches like St Brelade's are well developed and attractive to those who like this. But Beauport beach is completely undeveloped and very beautiful: one of the most lovely small beaches I have seen. I had to put a city in, and wrote St Aubin but it's a few miles from this.

Alderney Coastal Path

Reviewed By smart900 - St Peter Port, United Kingdom

A well signposted and beautiful walk with a range of terrains, outlooks and viewpoints. Lots of history to delve into. Wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues though.

La Coupee

Reviewed By cat1237

This quaint bridge is worth a look and walk across with spectacular views had from both sides it might be difficult for some one infirm as it is very steep when going on to the bridge from both sides there are some steps from the bridge to the sea which are worth a try

The SandWizard

Reviewed By amygsy

Visited The Sandwizard today and was so pleased I did. What a truly talented gentleman with such a love for his passion of sand sculptures. He spent time telling us about how he makes the sculptures and tales of his competition days - it was a joy to meet him and I encourage everyone to go and visit. I hope one day he achieves his dreams of having three domes of sculptures!

St Matthew's Church - Glass Church

Reviewed By ArnoldManchester

Feels more like the interior of a French ocean-liner of the period than a church. You must visit this church if you are interested in classy glass-makers.Here you have the only glass font in the world, striking door panels,ornate coloured Jersey lilies in an alcove, a real treat for the eye. I can't say I loved it as a church; it seemed uninviting, a little chilly . But as a unique Lalique commission for a church. Jersey tourism should make much more of its presence on the island than it does.Wow !

Greve de Lecq

Reviewed By CoventryCrusader

This place contains all the best you can find on Jersey: small harbour with a lovely coastal village, wonderful beach (one of the best on the island), fabulous views and some historical buildings (no castle here but you can find a fort nearby). If you add a pub and coffee shop where you can have a good lunch (however it is not cheap experience) everything is like the quintessence of Jersey! Even if we visited the place in rather poor weather (cludy sky and drizzling rain) we enjoyed every moment spent there.
