Set in a beautiful location, St Brelade's Bay is Jersey's busiest resort beach with its tiny jetty and seaside parish church at the western end. South facing, the beach enjoys a long day when the sun shines, although the western end becomes shaded in late afternoon. The bay is very sheltered from everything but onshore breezes. There is soft, golden sand along the entire length of the beach, most of it hidden by human bodies and their paraphernalia on a fine July or August day.

Parking: There are several car parks, but this bay is very popular. Arrive early in the height of the summer to guarantee a space.

Buses: Well served in summer and winter, and also at weekends, so the bus is a credible alternative to queuing for a parking space.

Toilets: There are a number of public toilets along the length of the bay with access to the beach without crossing roads.

Bathing safety: Very safe bathing at all states of the tide.

Water and beach sports: The full range, from beach volleyball and trampolines to pedalos and other waterborne craft.

Refreshments: Cafés of varying sizes at several locations along the beach, as well as beach kiosks, restaurants, bars, shops and other facilities.

Popularity: This is a busy beach with lots going on to keep you entertained.
