What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Beauport Bay is lauded as a stunning, secluded 'hidden gem' with refreshing turquoise waters and dramatic cliffside views, offering a tranquil escape. While the challenging descent is a significant factor, most visitors find the effort well worth the reward of a peaceful, picturesque beach experience.
"I always come here every spring and summer, never disappoints ! The climb down is tiring but absolutely worth it, the water is always refreshing on a hot day, never to busy and a great view !"

"It's probably the most beautiful place we visited whilst on holiday. Thanks to the locsl lady walking her dogs who told us about it. Access down to the beach isn't easy . Lots and lots of uneven steps wind down to the beach. Which when we vidited was utterly deserted. If you didn't know where you were, you could have been mistaken for thinking you were in Thailand."

"About Beauport
Beauport Bay is the very definition of a hidden gem, geographically close to the busy St. Brelade’s Bay but a world away in terms of atmosphere. It’s improbable that a visitor would stumble across Beauport unless they knew exactly where to look, so the majority of beachgoers here are local, and those in the know arrive early to bag a good spot on the sand.
Reaching Beauport is an adventure in itself with a steep pathway and steps tumbling down the cliff face from the small car park above. The reward for these efforts clambering down (and later back up!) is one of the most picturesque wild bays in Jersey, if not the world.
Surrounded on all sides by towering granite cliffs the south facing bay is a renowned sun-trap, and the turquoise water here is calm, perfect for swimming and a popular anchor spot for local and visiting boat owners. Local teens earn their bragging rights by jumping into the water from a number of dizzyingly high rocks around the bay, but an excellent knowledge of local tides and water depth is required to do this safely and it’s not recommended to follow suit!
There is no public transport serving Beauport, but the nearest bus stop in St. Brelade’s Bay is around a 15-minute walk away. Due to the nature of the steep pathway and steps this beach is sadly not recommended for those with mobility difficulties, and there are no toilet or catering facilities here."
