Jersey has 50 miles of shoreline and 12 major beaches and has some of the largest tidal flows in
the world. Care must be exercised when bathing or exploring the rocks.
From mid May to the end of September, three bays St. Ouen, St. Brelade, and
Plemont are patrolled by beach lifeguards. The patrolled areas for swimming are marked with red and
yellow flags. The flagged areas are moved throughout the day due to the tides and will be
advised to move into the new areas if necessary. If conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for
swimming, red flags will be flown. There is a also a guard at West Park but the area is not
patrolled. Please ask for advice if in doubt.

Jersey has one of the best beaches in Europe for windsurfing and surfing. Feel
the force of the Atlantic rollers at St Ouen's bay on Jersey's west coast. It is a surfers' mecca
all year round. Other bays include Greve de Lecq, Plemont and St. Brelade's Bay which have no
restrictions from November to March. Please note however that surfing is restricted to before
1000 and after 1900 from April to October for the safety of other beach goers. The borders of the
permitted surfing zones in St Ouen's Bay are marked by red and white stripes painted on to the sea
wall. In the interests of safety, no surfing outside this area.
