To the east of St Helier. Drive to the good companion club then take a right and go up the road and it is in front of you. There is a large car park at the eastern end of this stretch of beach, but you do have to pay to park there. At weekends it fills up quite rapidly.

Do not arrive here to early as the numerous reefs offshore prevent the waves from reaching the beach until quite late in the tidal sequence.

townie surfers - this spot can be pretty sweet when st ouens and brelade are blown out. I had a blinding session down there last january when it was head high steep trying to get hollow. some waves dump on the steeper parts of the beach when the tide is big (which it needs to be) but you will be more concerned about the amount of idiot kids who drop in on each other thinking its fun, fine if they hit each other but when they start interfering wiht you waves is annoying. They have idea about wave right of way because they are all young fools who cant drive down to st ouen after school in the evenings to surf. beware of townie surfers...they are the worst.
