Devil's Hole, Natural crater and scenic viewpoint in St Mary, Jersey.
The coastal formation features a 200-foot deep and 100-foot wide natural crater created by sea erosion through the cliff face.
In 1851, a French vessel La Josephine wrecked nearby, and its wooden figurehead was recovered and transformed into a devil statue.
The site was originally named Le Creux de Vis, meaning Spiral Hollow in Jersey French, reflecting the local linguistic heritage.
Visitors can access the site via Route 7 bus from Liberation Station to St John's Church, with the journey taking approximately 30 minutes.
A 20-foot bronze statue of the Jersey Devil stands along the pathway, replacing earlier wooden versions that were occasionally stolen.

Jersey features a history that spans from the Neolithic period to World War II. On this Channel Island, visitors can explore Mont Orgueil Castle, a 13th-century fortress overlooking Gorey, and Elizabeth Castle, a 16th-century fort accessible by a causeway covered at high tide. The War Tunnels, a one-kilometer underground network built between 1940 and 1945, illustrate the period of German occupation. La Hougue Bie hosts a 6,000-year-old burial site topped with two medieval chapels. The island also offers natural areas such as Saint-Brelade Beach, maritime collections at the Jersey Museum, and local products available at La Mare Wine Estate or the Anglo-Normandian Islands Distillery. The Jersey Zoo, established in 1959, is dedicated to protecting endangered species over 13 hectares. These sites help understand the island's history, from its earliest inhabitants to maritime activities that have shaped Jersey up to the present.
