St Ouen’s Bay

Most Jersey residents and many visitors consider St Ouen’s beach the best of its kind. Miles of beautiful sandy beach, washed twice daily by the waves rolling in from the Atlantic Ocean stretch for five miles (8 kms) from end to end. This is a paradise for surfers, but with room and facilities for everyone.
Marine Conservation Society Recommended Beach 2006
Parking: Car parks at many locations along the length of the bay, supplemented as necessary by roadside parking at peak periods.
Buses: Route 12a runs along the bay as far as L'Etacq.
Toilets: A number of public toilets at strategic locations on the beach side of the Five Mile Road.
Bathing safety: The beach is exposed to the Atlantic along its entire length and the surf can be magnificent - which is fine for those who are experienced, but poor swimmers should take care. Even the most accomplished can be swept off their feet by the currents, so obey the warning signs and flags, take careful note of which sections of beach are restricted.
Water and beach sports: Surfing to match anywhere in the world, windsurfing, sand yachting and kite flying. Motor racing takes place several times during the summer. For details of water sport activities in this area and other beaches, please Click Here.

Refreshments: There is a large café at Le Braye, several restaurants and pubs in various locations along the bay, ice cream vans in season at the most popular spots and other beach kiosks.
Popularity: Often the Island's busiest beach, but it rarely shows because there is so much room and such extensive car parking.
