The palm fringed beach of golden white sand at St. Brelade's has been described by Alan Whicker as one of the loveliest in the world. The affluent history of the region reflects back to the 1950's and 60's when the first wealthy residents arrived on the island to set up home in and around the bay. Ideal for family holidays to Jersey, travelling to the island is made easy by either flight or ferry to Jersey. The beaches of St. Brelade's and Portelet are the perfect location for water activities such as swimming and canoeing. Small boats and pedaloes can also be rented for a relaxing cruise of the bay. Alternatively, enjoy the stunning scenery on the walk out to Corbiere Point where the lighthouse, built in 1874, marks the southwest tip of the island or venture along the cliff-top coastal paths.

The Parish Church, constructed during the 11th century and built from local granite, stands at the end of St Brelade Bay. This Channel island sight was traced back to wandering Celtic Saints and has undergone several transformations over the last centuries.
