South-west
Belcroute
Quiet shingle cove tucked beside St Aubin and reached either from the bay at low tide or down a wooded lane from Noirmont.
Directions

Google Maps
Apple MapsSwim
Usable swim option because the tide is outside this beach's strongest swim window and wind exposure takes some of the comfort away.
Paddleboard
Paddleboarding conditions are mixed because the NE wind is too lively for easy paddling, this is one of the more sheltered water options, and the tide is away from the stronger paddleboarding window.
Surf
Surf setup is mixed because the NE wind is workable but not ideal, this beach is not one of the stronger surf-exposed spots, and the tide is away from the better surf window.
Relax
Mixed relaxed beach stop because it should feel comfortable to stay put for a while and beach space is tighter than the better relaxed-beach window.
Walk
Great for walking now because the tide is low enough to expose plenty of walking space. Keep an eye on the incoming tide.
Run
Usable for a beach run because there should be enough exposed sand for a proper beach run and the terrain is a bit mixed for a clean running line. Keep an eye on the incoming tide if you plan to go far.
Dog walk
Useful for a dog walk because dog access is less convenient here and the shoreline has usable room now.
Family
Family conditions are mixed because it is less forgiving for a simple family beach stop, access, parking, or facilities are more limited, and wind comfort matters here.
Picnic
Useful picnic option because facilities and easy set-up are more limited here and the current weather is fairly workable for staying put.
Explore
Worth exploring because strong coastal scenery is on show and lower water is opening up more of the coast.

Coastal context
Sheltered bay behaviour usually means more comfortable swimming windows and less wind stress. South and east Jersey are treated as lower-lying with larger visible tidal change.

Key features
Hazard notes
The beach is small, loses the sun early, and can disappear into the wider bay quickly. Access is more awkward than at the bigger south-coast beaches.
