La Rocque Harbour

La Rocque Harbour is a marina on Jersey's southeastern coast with multiple docking areas and a long breakwater that shields vessels from Channel currents. The facility includes boat maintenance areas, fuel supplies, and storage spaces for various craft.

The harbor grew from a strategic fishing settlement in the 1700s, becoming increasingly important for maritime commerce and food supply. Modern facilities were gradually added while the original working character of the port remained unchanged.

Local fishermen still gather to sell their daily catch directly from boats, a practice that shapes the rhythm of the harbor. The sight and sounds of these working boats define how people experience the place today.

The harbor is accessible via walking paths and offers viewpoints to observe the water activity. Visitors should pay attention to tides, as these affect access to certain areas and visibility of the shoreline.

When the tide recedes, extensive sand banks and rock formations emerge where visitors can spot marine creatures in natural pools. These changing waters reveal coastal ecology that shifts with each tidal cycle.
