Bouley Bay is a charming fishing port situated on the north coast of Jersey, featuring a two-mile pebble beach and harbour set against towering cliffs to the north and west. The bay's name originates from the French word 'bouleau', meaning birch tree. The beach is characterised by soft pebbles, with the cliffs standing at a height of 400 feet at their tallest point. The bay offers great rock pools to explore, home to a variety of marine life, and on occasion, visitors may spot puffins during their coastal walks.
The harbour at Bouley Bay is naturally deep, making it an ideal spot for scuba diving, and is home to the Bouley Bay Dive Centre. The pier is a popular spot for fishing, while the cliff path on the northern coast of the bay provides a scenic route for walkers. Visitors can also enjoy dolphin-watching off the coast, with the possibility of spotting these marine mammals swimming offshore.
Amenities close to the beach include Mad Mary's Beach Cafe, renowned for its crab sandwiches, and the Black Dog Pub. The area is also steeped in local legend, with the story of 'Le Chien de Bouley', a mythical black dog said to have stalked the streets, although its origins are believed to have been fabricated by smugglers.
Bouley Bay hosts the Bouley Bay Hill Climb, a well-known motorsports event that takes place on the winding roads around the harbour, attracting competitors from around the world.
