The south is dominated by golden sweeps of
sandy beaches such as St Aubin’s and St Brelade’s, while some of the world’s best surfing
and wake-boarding can be found on St Ouen’s Bay on the west coast.
In complete contrast, the north of the island is one dramatic cliff and headlands that shelter
hidden coves and tiny fishing harbours such as Rozel and Bonne Nuit Bay. This is also one of the
best places to observe bird life and, like the rest of the island, the area is interspersed with former German fortifications.

The Little Train is a company with three small trains called Lillie, Major Pierson and Terence. The
trains make for a relaxing alternative to sightseeing on foot, and take you on a fun ride along the promenade tour from Liberation Square all the way from St Helier to St Aubin and back.
In the busy St Brelade’s Bay you can find the beautiful, golden sands of St Brelade’s Beach, Jersey’s busiest bay and a parish church. Here you can enjoy long days sunbathing, do water sports (lots of water activities go on here daily) or simply go on scenic strolls along the bay.
Towards the western part of St Brelade’s Bay stands St Brelade’s Parish Church. This small, old church is within walking distance from the beach and bay area, and is highly recommended for postcard-ready photographs (it is setting against a backdrop of lush greenery by the edge of the
water).
For the more active, there are multitudes of walks and footpaths to
suit even the seasoned hiker. It is possible to walk from the far northwest to the far northeast of the island on a delightful 16 mile course, taking in some of the most fabulous scenery. There is also an extensive network of green lanes, which give priority to pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
