South-west
Jenny Slip, St Aubin
Harbour-side slip in St Aubin with easy access to calmer south-bay water, better for quick dips and shorter waterfront stops than for a big sandy beach day.
Directions
Open this beach in your preferred maps app.
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
Good for a beach run because there should be enough exposed sand for a proper beach run and the shoreline shape is more workable for running. Keep an eye on the incoming tide if you plan to go far.
Dog walk
Useful for a dog walk because it is one of the more practical dog-walk choices and the shoreline has usable room now.
Family
Family conditions are strong because it is one of the easier family picks, access, parking, and facilities support a family visit, and wind comfort matters here.
Picnic
Useful picnic option because access and nearby basics are stronger here and the current weather is fairly workable for staying put.
Explore
Worth exploring because varied coastline is on show and lower water is opening up more of the coast.

Coastal context
Mixed shoreline gives a blend of sand, rock, and bay shelter, so the best activity depends more on tide stage. South and east Jersey are treated as lower-lying with larger visible tidal change.
