Top Things to do in St. Brelade
Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in St. Brelade, Channel Islands
St. Brelade, in the Jersey Islands, is home to several beautiful bays with golden sands. St. Brelade Bay is a great place for an active beach day—beachgoers enjoy canoeing, banana boat rides, trampolines and kayaking. Visit the Fisherman’s Chapel to see the perquage, a path from the chapel to the sea. Ancient law allowed a criminal to seek sanctuary in the chapel for eight days. On the ninth, he had to surrender or walk down the path to board a boat, which would carry him into permanent exile from the island.

This chapel is a really special place for all my family. It never fails to be peaceful and the age-old wall paintings are very beautiful. Even as a nonreligious person like me this is definitely worth a visit.

Anyone with an interest in the Second World War should come here. It's a part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall, and a memorial to all those slave labourers that the Organisation Todt worked to their deaths building it. The concrete is several feet thick, so not much could penetrate the bunkers, but I would think that the concussive effect of a few heavy shells detonating on the roof would be enough for anyone inside.

7. Strongpoint Corbiere
Overall Ratings

Strongpoint Corbière currently consists of five German WWII Fortifications found at La Corbière Point. Volunteer members attend to the WWII fortifications & although CIOS members, this is not an officially recognised page. The aim is to preserve and restore these structures to how they would have been operationally during the last year of WWII. The site's 5 bunkers are open to the public at select times, being the two 10.5CM coastal defence gun casemates, the M19 Fortress Mortar bunker, the heavy machine gun sechsscharternturm bunker & the Kanalinsel Nr. 514 Personnel Shelter . The aim is to create a 'working atmosphere', not a 'static museum' where some of the equipment is usable & you can even aim the 10.5cm fortress gun or hold & operate deactivated machine guns! Much attention has been paid to the interior fixtures & fittings & the bunkers contain extensive displays showing how the bunkers and weapons operated together with stories about the actual soldiers who served there.

The jagged rocks and picturesque lighthouse make a lovely picture. You can see the causeway under the sea that comprises the drive to the tiny house on the lighthouse rock. To the west the Atlantic waves crash on half submerged rock-fields creating a white-water vista. It's breezy, but breath taking scenery in the autumn sunshine.
8. Jersey Lavender Farm

In 2018 we are open from 1st May to 30th September, 10am to 5pm, Tuesdays to Sundays - we are closed on Mondays for maintenance, even if the Monday is a bank holiday. From early June to mid August we have our harvesting season when we look the best with the lavender in bloom, and we gather the harvest in. During this time we STRONGLY encourage you to attend one of the talks in the distillery at either 11:30am or 3:00pm. They are fun, informative and well worth it. Outside the harvesting season, the distillery isn't working but there is a 5 min video presentation that explains the processes on the farm through the year, and plenty to read and our different lavender oils to smell (and the entrance charge is lower). There is a "Discovery Trail" for kids and adults alike, chickens to feed and we also have our Sprigs Cafe and Shop. Plenty of homemade food in the first and a good range of gifts and, of course, the lavender products made on the farm.

We turned up just in time for the talk (on the day we went there were only two that day). The history and description of the process was fascinating, it was interesting to hear about the different types of lavender and oils and what they may be used for. You can wander through the lavender fields afterwards. It was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and great that we could take our dog with us.

Powerful sculpture, the text was very thought provoking. During the day you can enjoy real Jersey ice cream from the van by the car park. At early evening you can watch the sunset by Corbiere lighthouse. Beware the tides on the causeway.
