Lovely golden sand beach with a beach café. Only accesible by stairs. Place of Jersey's first snorkel trail (established 2022). The trail sits within recently designated Portelet Bay No-Take-Zone (NTZ) – the first to be created in Jersey. The new designation means no fishing or other extractive activities can occur within the zone and it is an offence to remove any marine species with exceptions for scientific investigation.
Portelet Tower:
Most commonly known as Janvrin's tomb the Portelet Tower is situated on a large rock in center of the bay. As legend goes, the French captain was returning to Jersey in 1721 when his ship wasn't allowed to dock as the locals feared plague, as a result he died away from the island and was buried on the small rocky islet. The islet is accessible during low tide and is free to explore but the main tower (built 1808) is closed to public.
