The Prince of Wales is a family-run 4* inn overlooking the beach at Greve de Lecq on Jersey’s north coast, it has a very good reputation with locals and visitors for hospitality, fresh seafood from the bay, beautiful surroundings, informal simplicity and down to earth prices.
The Beach
There are several cafes nearby and pubs within easy walking distance. 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 beach has lifeguards on duty for most of the season. The old pier opposite is a good vantage point for fishermen. If you make friends with one, ask him to show you the cave that leads to the “secret beach.”
Jersey's North Coast
Jersey’s North Coast is quite different from the south, most of it is formed of cliffs interspersed with small bays, Greve de Lecq being one of them. Most of it is a protected conservation area with well maintained paths along the cliff tops, offering views of the other islands and the Normandy coast. These paths lead into small bays and picturesque small harbours, the main ones being Bouley Bay, Bonne Nuit and Rozel.
Walking
Although the bays are accessible by car, they are small and lie at the bottom of steep descents, parking is normally difficult. Best access is by bus or on foot, with a packed lunch provided by the inn. The north coast paths are popular with walkers and photographers. Guided cliff walks are available.
Jersey's main tourist attractions
They are all within reach with a good bus service from outside the inn. For an overview of Jersey’s attractions, please visit the official Jersey Tourism website.
