Holiday to Jersey – The A-Z of beaches

Jersey is home to some of the most stunning beaches in the Channel Islands, each offering its own unique charm and activities. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax, a place to enjoy water sports, or a family-friendly beach, Jersey has something for everyone. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the island’s beaches, from the north to the south coast.

Anne Port

On the north east of the Island, Anne Port is a fairly quiet beach that enjoys sun until late afternoon.

• It’s quite sheltered unless there’s an easterly wind.
• The sand is mainly sandy, although not soft.
• Parking can sometimes be a problem.

Archirondel

Also located in the north east, Archirondel is more popular than Anne Port.

• It offers better parking and a great cafe.
• The beach is screened from westerly winds, making it a relatively quiet spot for a picnic with sun until late afternoon.
• You’ll find a large area of wet sand, with the upper reaches of the beach being stony.

Beauport

Beauport beach is on the south coast and is one of the best on Jersey.

• It doesn’t get too crowded.
• From the car park, there’s a steep path to the beach that may deter some, but it’s worth it once you arrive.
• This beach is a bit of a sun trap (until late afternoon), surrounded by cliffs on three sides, providing shelter from the wind unless it’s coming from the south.
