The Jersey War Tunnels, formerly the German Underground Hospital
Clever name for a cafe
After the War Tunnels, we head east to the coast. What a surprise La Rocque was. The start of many cool beaches.

Mont Orgueil Castle
Gorey is about 8 miles from St Helier. Not far along the road. A nice wee town with tons of places to eat and drink.Just at the seafront.
It was low tide so we could see the oyster beds in Grouville Bay .

We drive up the coast to St. Catherine.
Another pier equals another walk. Stop for ice cream. You must visit the sandcastle wizard. The castle above was being built by Simon Smith.
In 2003 he was named World Masters People's Champion for creations he built out of sand in Venice.

Today has been about the sea. Rough, wild and beautiful.

We enjoyed lunch at the Plemont Bay Café, a locally-run beach café.
Spectacular
Now we drive west to the place I have heard so much about. La Corbière lighthouse. The wildside of Jersey.Love it.
The name means "a place where crows gather", deriving from the word corbîn meaning crow. Never saw a crow all day.
Home to St. Helier
