- St. Brelade’s Bay — The parish’s big draw: a long, sandy bay with calm swimming at low tide, spectacular sunsets, surfable waves on the edges and enough cafés and cafés-to-be to make a lazy afternoon feel earned.
- La Motte (Green Island) — A tidal island sitting off the bay that you can walk to at low tide; great for exploring seaweed-strewn rock pools, birdwatching and getting a different angle on the shoreline away from the main beach.
- Fisherman’s Chapel — A tiny, atmospheric medieval chapel tucked near the bay; it’s an intimate little bit of local religious and maritime history worth a few quiet minutes to take in the stonework and old charm.

- St. Brelade’s Parish Church — The parish church itself is centuries old with classic island gravestones and local memorials; visiting gives a proper feel for community history and the parish’s quieter side.
- La Rocco Tower — The round stone tower perched on an outcrop at the mouth of the bay is endlessly photogenic and reachable at low tide; good for a short excursion and imagining old coastal defenses up close.
- St. Aubin’s Harbour and Village — A compact, characterful harbour with boats, fish cafés and pint-sized streets; a great place to watch comings and goings, grab seafood, or sit with a coffee and people-watch.
- St. Aubin’s Fort — The tidal fort in the harbour is reachable on foot at certain tides (or by boat) and gives you a tangible sense of Jersey’s coastal defenses and views back toward the mainland.
- Corbière Lighthouse and Headland — The iconic lighthouse at the island’s south-west tip is accessible by causeway and offers dramatic coastal scenery, seal sightings off the rocks and a real sense of remoteness despite being close to town.
- Coastal Walks around the Headland — Short but rewarding stretches of the Jersey Coastal Path run through St. Brelade, with wildflower skirts, seabird colonies and rocky viewpoints; perfect for half-day hikes without needing a car.
- St. Brelade Village and Parish Green — The small village center around the church pulses with local life—pubs, parish notices, and old stone buildings—so you can soak up everyday Jersey character away from the beach crowds.
