Itinerary description

Show original
Along the coast; You can choose to walk upstairs or along the beach.
The name addition "Royal" received the Royal Bay of Grouville by Queen Victoria on her visit to the bay in 1846, which impressed her very much.
The bay stretches as a long sandy beach from Gorey in the north to Rocque Harbor in the south. In the south, an oyster bank was discovered in 1797. From 1810, the oyster farming boomed, which was an export hit in the entire 19th century.
