This beautiful Jersey beach is one of the island’s most popular, loved by visitors for its golden sand and safe swimming. If you’re visiting the island, you’ll find plenty to do at St Brelade’s beach including family friendly activities, watersports, beach cafés and seaside restaurants, beach walks and plenty of sunbathing spots. If the family is craving adventure, kayaks can be hired to discover secluded beaches, bays, coves and caves, all whilst having a splashing good time. On the other hand, sophistication is not far away with the indulgent afternoon tea at the L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa
With a broad sweep of south-facing golden sand and crystal-clear, safe swimming waters, St Brelade's Bay is one of Jersey's most-loved beach resorts. It's a fantastic base for families, with plenty of space for sandcastles, beach games and lazy picnics on the soft sand, while the sheltered bay keeps things calm enough for little ones to paddle with confidence.
For those after more adventure, St Brelade's has watersports covered — hire a kayak or SUP to explore hidden coves and caves along the coast, try your hand at coasteering along the rocks, or get moving on the sand with blokarting. When it's time to slow down again, the bay is lined with tempting cafés and seaside restaurants, many with sea views, and no visit is complete without indulging in afternoon tea at the L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa.
St Brelade's Bay sits on the Jersey Tidal Trail, with the section here offering easy coastal walking past the church of St Brelade and on towards neighbouring bays — a great option if you fancy stretching your legs before (or after) a day on the sand.
