Stand-up paddleboard across St Aubin's Bay

Gentle glides, sweeping views, and island serenity

St Aubin's Bay offers a sheltered canvas for paddleboarding, a tranquil way to connect with Jersey's coastal beauty. Ideal for families and beginners, its calm waters provide a safe environment for exploring the island from a fresh perspective. Enjoy the sun-drenched shores and the gentle rhythm of the sea.

The south coast of Jersey cradles St Aubin's Bay, a natural suntrap where the waters remain largely sheltered and shallow. This geographical advantage makes it a prime location for stand-up paddleboarding, offering an accessible entry point into watersports. The bay’s expansive reach allows for exploration with views stretching back towards the historic Elizabeth Castle and the bustling St Helier waterfront. Operators along the beach and at St Aubin Harbour provide equipment and guidance, ensuring both safety and enjoyment for all skill levels. It's an opportunity to experience Jersey's picturesque coastline at a measured pace, observing the landscape as you glide across the water.

Was Sie erwartet

Visitors can hire paddleboards and receive a brief safety orientation, including a leash for the board. Lessons are available for those new to the sport. Spend an hour or two paddling along the coast, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the calm waters. You'll find yourself amidst stunning scenery, with the potential to paddle the entire bay on a still evening. This spot is particularly well-suited for families and those looking for a gentle introduction to watersports, promising a memorable experience on the water.
