St Brelade’s Bay
St Brelade’s Bay is Jersey’s classic family beach: a long sweep of golden sand on the sheltered south coast, backed by cafés, watersports hire and gardens. The gentle shelf and lifeguard cover in season make it the island’s safest all-round swim. It gets busy in August — arrive early for parking.
