Minquiers, Reef system in English Channel, Jersey.
The Minquiers reef spans an area larger than Jersey itself, featuring numerous sandbanks and clear lagoons that emerge during low tide periods.
The International Court of Justice settled the territorial dispute between Britain and France in 1953, confirming Jersey's sovereignty over the Minquiers reef.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices around the Minquiers, passing down maritime knowledge and techniques through generations of Jersey inhabitants.
Access to Minquiers requires careful planning around tidal schedules, with boat tours and fishing trips available through multiple service providers in Jersey.
Maîtresse Île contains the southernmost buildings in the British Isles, including stone cottages used seasonally by fishermen and maritime enthusiasts.
