Keeping things simple
This little on-the-coast town is a sun-speckled port with dainty moored boats and modest whitewashed and pastel houses lining up along the shore. There’s definitely, a comforting, welcome appeal here in St. Aubin. It’s a seaside vision that really typifies how you’d imagine Jersey, so why don’t you stay a while?
Making real waves
The softly shelving tide makes having a paddle at the beach ideal for all ages – especially the little ones! You’ll find glittering gold sands and some top spots for windsurfing. Walk the railway trail, taste the reds and whites of the locally grown crop, and check out St. Aubin’s Fort along the causeway.
