The Prince of Wales is situated on the north coast of the island and overlooks on of Jersey's most idyllic sandy bays of Grève de Lecq.

Coarse golden sand, excellent facilities, including several cafes and pubs, and a large number of parking places make Greve de Lecq an excellent beach for all the family.

Bathing is safe – except when there is a big swell – and young children appreciate the stream which flows over the sands at the eastern end of the bay.

The old pier opposite is a good vantage point for fishermen. If you make friends with a knowledgeable Islander, get him to show you the cave that leads to the “secret beach”.
