St Brelade’s Bay sits on the south coast of Jersey and is one of our most popular beaches. With clear water and soft golden sand it is easy to see why this sheltered beach is so popular. Busiest in the middle of the bay you will see the young and beautiful tanning their bodies here. If you are looking for tranquility here is always a place where you can find peace and quite on the eastern part of the beach towards Oaisne.
