Day 1: Arrive Jersey — St. Helier
Arrive in Jersey and transfer to your first night’s accommodation in the capital, St. Helier. Pick up your detailed route notes, maps, and local recommendations. Evening stroll along the marina and through the Victorian Central Market. Sample Jersey’s famous seafood—perhaps oysters from the Royal Bay of Grouville or a classic Jersey crab salad. Overnight St. Helier.
Day 2: St. Helier to St. Aubin — 6 miles / 10 km
A gentle opening stage following St. Aubin’s Bay promenade west from St. Helier. The broad sweep of golden sand and calm waters make this one of Jersey’s most popular bays. Visit the 16th-century Elizabeth Castle at low tide (accessible by causeway). Arrive in St. Aubin, a charming harbor village with pastel-colored houses, a 16th-century fort, and excellent waterside restaurants. Overnight St. Aubin.
Day 3: St. Aubin to Corbière — 9 miles / 14 km
The wild south-west coast. Walk past the pretty harbor of Belcroute Bay before the path climbs to the clifftops. Pass Beauport Bay, a hidden gem accessible only by foot. Continue to the dramatic Corbière Lighthouse, standing on a rocky islet reached by causeway at low tide. The lighthouse keeper’s story and the treacherous offshore reefs (which claimed many ships) add a haunting dimension to this spectacular stretch. Overnight near Corbière.
Day 4: Corbière to Grève de Lecq — 11 miles / 18 km
The most dramatic day of walking. The path follows Jersey’s wild Atlantic coast: St. Ouen’s Bay, a magnificent five-mile sweep of sand with consistent surf, backed by sand dunes and WWII bunkers. Pass the Channel Islands Military Museum housed in a restored German bunker. Continue north past the racecourse at Les Landes and the Neolithic dolmen at Grantez. Descend to the picturesque bay of Grève de Lecq, nestled between steep wooded cliffs. Overnight Grève de Lecq area.
Day 5: Grève de Lecq to Rozel — 10 miles / 16 km
The rugged north coast, the most remote-feeling stretch of the trail. Climb through heather-covered headlands to Plémont with its sea caves (accessible at low tide). Continue past the Devil’s Hole, a 100-foot-deep blowhole where the sea thunders into a collapsed cave. Walk through Bonne Nuit Bay and Bouley Bay, both former smuggler’s havens. Arrive in the fishing village of Rozel with its working harbor. Overnight Rozel area.
Day 6: Rozel to St. Helier — 12 miles / 19 km
The final stage along the east coast. Walk beneath the dramatic 13th-century Mont Orgueil Castle, towering above Gorey harbor. Continue south passing the Royal Bay of Grouville, where oyster beds stretch across the intertidal zone. The final miles follow the south-east coast back to St. Helier, with La Rocque Harbour and the offshore Seymour Tower marking your approach to the capital. Celebrate completing the circuit with a seafood feast. Overnight St. Helier or depart.
