St Ouen

The parish is the largest parish by surface area, covering 8,341 vergees.  The bay has almost five miles of fine, gold sand, with plenty of facilities, surfing, windsurfing, sand yachting, kite flying, motor racing. It is very exposed, which makes it popular with local surfers, but less so with sunbathers. However, it can be quite treacherous here because of rip tides and strong currents and during the summer months the beach is patrolled by life-guards.  There are some great eating places along the ‘Five Mile’ road – La Pulente, Ellies, La Braye, El Tico’s, Watersplash and Big Verns, not excluding the beach kiosks and ice cream vans.  The sunsets viewed from here are the best in the world and on high tide the waves splashing over the breakwater are breath taking.
