Beauport Beach

A stunning, hidden beach away from the usual paths, offering breathtaking views. We spent about 3 hours here. The footpath leading down to the beach is somewhat rough and not ideal for those with mobility issues, but the scenery from the beach is absolutely gorgeous.

This was likely the most stunning location we encountered during our holiday. We owe our discovery to a local woman walking her dogs who mentioned it to us. The path down to the beach is quite challenging, with numerous uneven steps winding their way down. When we visited, the beach was completely deserted. If you didn't know better, you might think you were in Thailand.

A small yet beautiful beach. There are no toilets or shops in the vicinity, and you need to take steps or a long slope to reach it. However, it’s not crowded and offers a very relaxing atmosphere. We walked about 15 minutes from the St Brelade church bus stops to get here. Walking along the road is easier, but the walking trail offers more scenic views.

Review of Beauport Bay Beauport Bay epitomizes the concept of a hidden gem. Although it is geographically close to the bustling St. Brelade’s Bay, it offers a completely different atmosphere. It's unlikely that a visitor would accidentally find Beauport unless they knew exactly where to look, so most beachgoers here are locals who arrive early to secure a prime spot on the sand. Getting to Beauport is an adventure, involving a steep pathway and steps that descend the cliff face from the small car park above. The effort required to clamber down (and later back up!) is rewarded with one of the most picturesque wild bays in Jersey, if not the world. Encircled by towering granite cliffs, this south-facing bay is a renowned sun-trap. The turquoise water is calm, making it perfect for swimming and a popular anchoring spot for both local and visiting boat owners. Local teens often earn bragging rights by jumping into the water from various dizzyingly high rocks around the bay. However, an excellent knowledge of local tides and water depth is essential for this activity, and it’s not recommended for others to attempt it. There is no public transport directly serving Beauport, but the nearest bus stop in St. Brelade’s Bay is about a 15-minute walk away. Due to the steep pathway and steps, this beach is unfortunately not recommended for those with mobility difficulties. Additionally, there are no toilet or catering facilities available here.

What a stunning beach! Although it's a bit of a trek down the stairs to reach it, the effort is absolutely worth it.
