Jersey’s east coast beckons to visitors in Grouville, where medieval castles, picturesque villages and thrilling golf courses overlook the waters of St. Malo Bay.

The region of Grouville sits in the southeast corner of Jersey and promises a range of pleasant diversions including golf courses, beaches and historical sites. The parish curves around the scenic Royal Bay of Grouville, a natural bay area with a medieval castle at its northern tip. Spend your day sightseeing or swimming, then head to one of the region’s excellent restaurants for seafood fresh from the ocean.

Discover the earliest years of Grouville at the site of La Hougue Bie. Said to be among the 10 oldest buildings in the world, this Neolithic grave contains many mysteries. Read about its history in the archaeology museum, marvel at a vast collection of Celtic coins, then visit the medieval chapel on top of the site.

Head to the picturesque village of Gorey to find family attractions and some of the island’s best restaurants in an atmospheric waterfront setting. Families and culture vultures will find it thrilling to explore Mont Orgueil Castle, a 13th-century fortress with hidden rooms and stone stairways.

Finish your day of exploration in a local seafood restaurant, where you can shuck oysters farmed in Grouville Bay. Look out to the water to spot the farms of the Jersey Oyster Company amid the clean waters of the bay.

Spend a day by picturesque Grouville Bay, lounging on the sands of Long Beach. Watersports operators here offer high-speed thrills on the calm waters, but it’s equally popular as a place to sunbathe and relax. Look out along the edges of the beach for Jersey’s coastal defense towers, which all date back to the late 18th century.

The Royal Jersey Golf Club faces the bay so you can enjoy a day of teeing off with spectacular views of St. Malo Bay and Mont Orgueil Castle. Play all 18 holes with the coastal towers and Gorey Harbour forming a picturesque backdrop.

Grouville is located in the southeast corner of Jersey. Drive here in about 10 minutes from the capital of St. Helier. Visit in summer for the sunniest weather.
