Itinerary description
|
End point: Bus stop near the lighthouse Le Corbière
A very nice and varied walk past the Norman Point with its memorials from the Second World War.
Beautiful bays follow from Portelet, St. Quaisné, St. Brelade and Beauport. You have to walk down to the beach in Portelet and Beauport. I did that at the Beuaport for swimming: down there was 10 minutes, back then 15 minutes and a few meters!
In St. Brelade you can admire frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries in the Fishermen's Chapel and next to the beautiful Saint Brelade's Parish Church.
Finally, you come to the lighthouse of Le Corbière, to which you can walk over, depending on the tide. From the bus stop it is less than two kilometers to the lighthouse back and forth.

You walk up from the Quaisnè beach a small grove. Here you have from the highest point a beautiful view of the beach of St. Brelade. Maybe you can stay at low tide on the beach and save the small arrival and descent.

Beauport-Badestrand
In 10 minutes you are down in Beauport Bay. I found a not so good way down there. You should not necessarily take that. The way up the stairs from the beach is much easier.

Beobachtungsturm vom Zweiten Weltkrieg und Leuchtturm
The destination is reached: the bus stop. If you want to walk over to the lighthouse, you have to keep an eye on the tides. You can reach the lighthouse only at low tide. From the bus stop it is almost two kilometers round trip.
