Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Saint-Ouen

The longest beach on the island of Jersey, which stretches along the entire west coast of the island, is in fact shared by three communes: Saint-Ouen, Saint-Peter and Saint-Brelade. It is huge, almost straight and particularly popular with surfers, who park their vans in the many car parks, and walkers who can't get enough of it. Numerous blockhouses protect it, as it was, by its shape and size, an ideal landing place and therefore duly fortified by the German occupiers.

The Jersey Wetland Centre overlooks a beautiful bird sanctuary, the St. Ouen Pond, which has been protected since 1975. The center is a nature center and an interpretation center where you can observe birds in their natural environment and even nest. In addition to the many observation posts (no less than 16 windows), the center offers many explanatory panels and an exhibition for explanations on the different species and wetlands. Harriers and other wading birds await you!

Surrounded by green hills and surrounded by cliffs, Grève de Lecq is a small and friendly beach located between Saint-Ouen and Sainte-Marie in the southwest of the island. Here, it is the absolute calm and a perfect spot for a day at the beach with family, lovers or friends. Conveniently, there are a few restaurant options, in high season, above the beach. Ideal for a drink, an ice cream or a quick lunch on the go. In short, a dream spot for idleness! We love it.
