Bonne Nuit Bay

Another site that can be found to the north of the island is Bonne Nuit Bay. Entry can be made from either the pier or the beach. Bonne Nuit Bay and Harbour is located on the north coast of Jersey, at the bottom of a long and winding hill. It was given its unusual name (which means "Good Night" in French) in recognition of the safe and sheltered harbor where passing boats can seek refuge from the harsh winter seas.

Competent swimmers and those who like diving enjoy practising summersaults from the harbour pier into the sea. You will often see people strolling along the harbour before splashing in the water below. To partake in diving, it is highly recommended to take caution, stay clear of boat traffic and only advisable for confident divers. You can expect to see anemones, flat fish, rays, and various crabs. Bonne Nuit Bay is perfect for a night dive with common eels, John Dory, lobsters, and rays.
