St Brelade's Bay is a popular resort beach located on the island of Jersey, known for its picturesque setting and range of amenities. .

St Brelade's Bay is Jersey's busiest resort beach, featuring a tiny jetty and church at the western end. The south-facing bay is very sheltered from everything but onshore breezes, although it is exposed to south-westerly swells, making it a popular spot for local surfers.

The beach boasts a wide expanse of clean, golden sand that slopes gently down to the safe, turquoise waters of the bay. The beach is backed by a promenade with a palm-fringed grassy area and a number of shops and restaurants. At the western end of the beach, St Brelade's Parish Church has a medieval Fisherman's Chapel, which is thought to have been on the site since the 6th century.

St Brelade's Bay is a perfect destination for a day out, with families flocking to the beach in the summer months to bathe, build sandcastles, and enjoy the many watersport activities on offer. Visitors can rent kayaks and pedal boats, or take a ride on the banana boat which operates around the bay. Rockpools can be found at either end of the beach at low tide. There are a number of car parks nearby, although these fill up quickly in peak season.

Another nearby beach worth visiting is Greve de Lecq, a lovely north-facing beach that is a great spot for a day out in Jersey. The Prince of Wales, a family-run guest house, overlooks the beach, offering a place to eat after a day on the sand.
