St Ouen's Bay is Jersey's largest bay, stretching about 8 km along the island's west coast facing the Atlantic, about 11 km in a straight line north-west of the capital, St Helier. It lies in the parish of St Ouen, the island's largest by area. The bay faces the open Atlantic swell, making it Jersey's best-known surfing spot, with several surf schools. Behind the sand stretch protected dunes and wetlands home to many plants and birds, crossed by walking paths. Out in the bay, the round stone La Rocco Tower stands on a rock, surrounded by sand and rock pools at low tide. From the hills at the bay's southern end the view takes in the whole long beach as far as La Corbière Lighthouse, and sunset over the ocean is one of its finest moments. The bay is public and free. Waves and currents can be strong, so swim in lifeguarded areas; low tide uncovers wide stretches of sand for walking.
