- Cliff-top panoramas and sunsets — The headland gives a wide, raw sweep of ocean and sky; on clear days you can see dramatic layers of cliffs, waves crashing below, and some of the best west-facing sunsets on the island.
- Noirmont Battery (Victorian defenses) — Ruined gun emplacements and concrete platforms from Britain’s coastal defence era sit right on the point, offering a tangible link to 19th-century military thinking and a rugged place to explore.
- German WWII fortifications — Scattered bunkers, casemates and observation posts from the German occupation remain visible. They’re a stark, atmospheric reminder of the island’s wartime history and make for interesting, moody photography.
- Coastal walks and the footpath to La Corbière — The coastal path here is classic Jersey: exposed, rewarding

- Coastal walks and the footpath to La Corbière — The coastal path here is classic Jersey: exposed, rewarding and linked to the iconic La Corbière lighthouse area. It’s a short, punchy stretch that makes a great half-day loop if you keep an eye on the tide.
- Tide pools and geology — At low tide the shoreline reveals rock pools, jagged ledges and folded rock strata that are fun to poke around. Good for low-cost wildlife spotting and a basic geology lesson without a textbook.
- Seabirds, occasional seals and wildlife watching — The point is a regular perch for gulls, terns and other coastal birds; seals are often seen offshore or hauled out on rocks. Bring binoculars and a patience for slow rewards.
- Photography of manmade and natural contrasts — The mix of rusting military remains, stark concrete, sweeping sea and a near-by lighthouse gives photographers dramatic contrasts — great light at dawn or dusk, and strong lines for moody compositions.
