A swell time

The shallows of south-east Jersey are ideal for taking a dip around these parts. The flat, sweeping beach brings in the rolling waves, and there’s a café along the edge to keep you refreshed all day. While you’re in town, have a swim, perfect your golf or just enjoy scenic walks.

Fabulous features

Sail around the bay, visit the old tower that kept Napoleon’s men away or check out Jersey’s oldest mill – there’s a quirky selection of highlights. Swot up on your history too with a visit to La Hougue Bie, a graveyard passage doubling as a museum. But to truly embrace Grouville, you’ve got to try the local oysters!
