Archierondel

Another excellent spot to try is the bay at Archierondel, located on Jersey’s north-eastern corner, just to the north of Gorey. The bay here is very secluded and few people know about it, as it’s difficult to see from the shore. The shallow seabed ranges between 5 and 8 m deep and is covered in seagrass beds, kelp and some interesting rock formations. Wildlife such as eel grass, kelp and interesting rock formations with chances to see cat sharks, sponges, nudibranch and rays can all be found.

The use of spearguns with full scuba equipment, although not illegal, is frowned upon by locals who prefer to use only snorkeling gear if they are hunting. For those who prefer to shoot fish on film, the vast array of colourful marine life and good visibility makes Archierondel the ideal destination for the underwater photographer.
