South Coast, St. Aubin's Bay and West Coast
Depart the pier for a scenic drive from Jersey's capital of St. Helier, situated on the south coast with broad sandy bays and some of Europe's best beaches, to the broad expanse of St. Aubin's Bay. From here, your drive continues on towards the west coast and passes by St. Brelade's Bay, which is almost Mediterranean in ambience.
North Coast, Greve De Lecq
Next, proceed along the quiet country lanes towards the north coast, where dramatic cliffs and rocky coves starkly contrast the broad, sandy bays of the southern and western coasts. A stop will be made at the beautiful village of Greve De Lecq for you to enjoy some time at your leisure/
East Coasts, Gorey
After driving across the countryside of the island's northern parishes and country lanes, proceed to the east coast village of Gorey. Here, see the beautiful Regency Harbour and Mont Orgueil Castle, which dominates its surroundings as it rises from a granite knoll.
South Coast and St. Helier
Leaving Gorey, your drive continues southward. Along the way, see the broad sweeps of the Royal Bay of Grouville and St. Clement's Bay. As you round the southeastern tip of Jersey, view a run of defensive towers that were built between 1776 and 1801 to defend the coast from French attack. Your tour concludes with a brief drive through the suburbs of St. Helier before returning to the pier.
