Portelet Bay

Portelet Bay is a small cove on Jersey's south coast featuring a shingle beach and shallow waters ideal for wading. The shoreline is framed by cliffs and offers views toward offshore rock formations and the open water.

Portelet Bay lies about 6 km southwest of Saint Helier, on Jersey's south-western coast. The bay is open to the prevailing westerly and south-westerly weather, with a mild maritime climate: January averages around 4 °C and August around 20 °C, and annual rainfall reaches roughly 1,127 mm.

The best visit is at low tide when more beach is exposed and the water becomes even shallower for wading. A narrow path from the nearest car park leads down to the bay, making access relatively straightforward.
