Start at La Rocque harbour and stay close to shore if you are on your own. Go to the outer rocks and Seymour Tower only with a local guide.
What you can find
crabs, anemones, starfish, sea snails, prawns, seaweeds
What to do: rockpooling, wildlife watching
Shellfish and sanitary status: Jersey has its own fishing rules and minimum sizes. Check them with the Government of Jersey (Marine Resources) and do not eat shellfish without checking for health warnings.
Rules and safety
The tide returns fast here and from several directions, and the ground is flat and easy to get lost on. Go on long walks with a guide. The shore is in the Jersey south-east coast Ramsar site.
About the place
Jersey has some of the largest tides in Europe. On a spring low tide, more than ten square kilometres of rock and sand uncover off the island's south-east coast, including the Violet Bank reef. From La Rocque people walk out at low tide as far as Seymour Tower.
