Grève de Lecq, Sandy beach on the northern coast of Jersey, Channel Islands.
Grève de Lecq is a beach on Jersey's northern coast featuring golden sand, rocks, and tall surrounding cliffs. The shoreline blends flat sandy areas with rocky sections that become more accessible at low tide.
The beach held strategic importance during World War II, and military fortifications and observation posts were built into the surrounding cliffs. Remnants of these defensive structures remain visible today.
The beach serves as a meeting place where locals gather throughout the year for celebrations and social events. It reflects how the community connects with the sea and shapes daily island life.
The beach has restrooms, showers, cafes, and large parking. Lifeguards are on duty during summer months, and planning extra time helps if you want to explore the rocky areas.
A large cave system runs through the eastern headland, and visitors can walk through the rock formation at low tide. These caves formed through natural erosion and offer an adventure for those watching the tide.
