St Ouens bay
Good evening everyone, hope you’re having a great weekend so far?
Tonight’s blog is about the beautiful St Ouens bay, exposed to the Atlantic weather and tides it makes an amazing backdrop for photography another one of my favourite places and there are a few miles of coastline to photograph,
Here’s a little bit about the area
The Island has the third largest tidal range in the world and on spring tides the difference between low and high tide can be almost 12 m, which compares to only 2-5m experienced by English coasts. The Bailiwick of Jersey doubles its area between high and low water spring tides and the Countryside Character Appraisal has been extended to include the large intertidal area.
Saint Ouen (Jèrriais: Saint Ouën) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is in the north-west of Jersey. The parish is the largest parish by surface area, covering 8,341 vergées (15 km²).
It is reputed to be the most traditional of the parishes, being the farthest from Saint Helier and with much of the territory of the parish forming a peninsula. Its manor, Saint Ouen’s Manor, the seat of the de Carteret family for over eight centuries.
