Ouaisne:
Nowhere near as crowded as its neighbour, St Brelade's Bay, it is popular with
locals. Its large car park ensures that parking is easier than many other bays. The southw-
est facing beach can have surf at times towards high water. At low water there are plenty
of rocks for young and old alike to explore. There are toilets and a refreshment kiosk plus
a lovely pub (The Smugglers) and restaurant (The Beach House) with a café (The Break-
fast Club) underneath.
Portelet:
A south facing beach which requires some effort to get to and even more effort
to get back to the car because of the number of steps. South facing, the beach is sheltered
from winds from the north and the sand is ideal for sitting on. Swimming here is generally
very safe but care should is needed to avoid getting stranded on Ile au Guerdain, the small
island in the middle of the bay, as the tide rises.
There is plenty of parking at the top of the steps but there are no toilets or refreshments,
on the beach. At the top of the steps there is a pub, The Old Portelet Inn, which is family
friendly and serves a wide range of food. It is a welcome sight after the exertions of climb-
ing up from the beach and many people will head towards it for refreshments.
