Military structures built on cliffs to fend off Napoleonic invasions straddle this sandy bay and the surviving barracks and shooting ranges.

La Greve de Lecq encompasses a gorgeous bay and its surrounding area in St. Ouen. Along the sandy strand and its verdant bluffs are vestiges that hint at the island’s military past as well as a flurry of shooting ranges. Appreciate the panoramic views of the English Channel from the cafés at the back of the beach.

Relax with seafood and a beer at one of the restaurants or guesthouses. Bring supplies to have a picnic on La Greve de Lecq Beach. Beside the parking lot on the northwestern end of the sandy stretch lies the Greve de Lecq Pier. Wander out to its end for the best photo opportunities of the beach.

The immense green promontory jutting out from the other side hosts Catel Fort, an 18th-century set of fortifications with the role of protecting the island from French invasion. Stay overnight with your family in this historic edifice overlooking the water.

Continue with the military theme on a trip inland to the Greve de Lecq Barracks. The site presents the fairly cramped dormitories in which over 150 soldiers slept. Contrast these with the spacious lodging for officers, who had their own rooms with fireplaces and furnishings. See the two prison cells that held misbehaving soldiers.

Several fun activities are available just outside the bay. Learn to hit targets at the Lecq Clay Target Club, the Crabbe Clay Pigeon Shooting Club or the Jersey Pistol Club. Stay overnight at the nearby Daisy Cottage Campsite and Retreat.

Find La Greve de Lecq in the northwestern part of Jersey, overlooking the island’s northern coast. It is in the northern part of St. Ouen parish, not far from Les Mielles Nature Reserve. Drive north for 10 minutes from Jersey Airport to get here. Leave your car in a beachside parking lot.

The beach, shooting ranges and historic structures make up an intriguing tourist spot in La Greve de Lecq.
