Saint Aubin, Port settlement on the southern coast of Jersey, Channel Islands.
Saint Aubin is a port settlement on the southern coast of Jersey that features a harbor used by fishing vessels and leisure boats throughout the year.
The town grew from a fishing village and became an important economic center during earlier centuries, particularly noted for its role in the Newfoundland cod fishery trade.
The settlement features traditional stone-built houses and narrow streets that reflect its maritime heritage, with the Anglican church of St. Aubin on the Hill overlooking the harbor below.
The harbor provides sheltered mooring conditions for small vessels, and the waterfront includes cafes and restaurants accessible to visitors exploring the Channel Islands by sea or land.
St. Aubin's Fort stands on a tidal island accessible at low tide via a causeway, featuring granite walls and ramparts modified during World War II by German forces.

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.
