- La Corbière Lighthouse — The island’s postcard: a photogenic lighthouse reached by a tidal causeway. Walk it at low tide for dramatic foregrounds and at high tide watch the waves slam the rocks — great for moody photos and feeling tiny in a good way.
- Grosnez Castle and the north-west cliffs — Crumbling ruin perched above rugged cliffs and sea-cut rocks. The views are raw and wild, with seabirds wheeling around the stacks; feels more Atlantic than suburban Jersey and is brilliant for late-day light.
- St. Ouen’s Bay and Les Landes — A huge sweep of sand backed by heathland: surfers, wide skies, and wind-bent gorse. The change from dunes to heathy moor is fast and lends a real sense of space that other coastal walks often lack.
- Gorey Harbour and Mont Orgueil Castle — A tiny fishing village

- Gorey Harbour and Mont Orgueil Castle — A tiny fishing village with a medieval castle staring down over the harbor. It’s the cultural counterpoint to the wild bits: cobbled lanes, tide-dependent harborside life and panoramic views from the castle ramparts.
- Eastern headlands (Bonne Nuit / Rozel) — sea views to France and offshore reefs — Smaller coves and rocky bays that give you those long water vistas. On a clear day you can pick out distant reefs and the French coast; good for scanning for seals, seabirds and watching tide patterns up close.
