Jersey by bike

We decide to stay one day and see a bit of Jersey by bike and to go out to the Corbière lighthouse that we passed on our way in. On the way we follow the biker path along the St Aubin bay and try not to bike on the pedestrian areas (50£ fine) or end up on in front of a left-driving car (worse). The water is on its way out and we are interested in how it will look like when we come back at low water. At St Aubin, we stay for a quick refreshment looking out on the drying harbor. We are on spring tide so the range between high and low water is 9.7 meters, which makes it possible to see how the water disappears. Then we go out to Corbière, where you are able to walk out to the lighthouse at LW. The lighthouse was closed but still impressive to see from the outside. Instead, we took a lunch at the restaurant overlooking the scenery and went back.

We stopped by to see the tidal effects both to the St Aubin harbour as well as to the bay that now more or less was gone. As expected, we could take a walk out to the Elizabeth castle instead of taking the ferry. However, the ferry ran for the lazy ones but now it was a bus. Back in St Helier, we head for the Mimosa restaurant that overlooks the marina.
