St Brelade's Bay

Jersey


One of Jersey's best beaches, St Brelade is a wide sweep of white sand between two rocky promontories, with clear waters, ideal conditions for a plethora of watersports and a clutch of beach hotels. At its western end is the 11th-century Church of St Brelade, made of pink granite and with a gorgeous interior.
