This beach in Jersey is absolutely breathtaking. The pictures really do it justice. Make sure to check out the caves, but only do so at low tide for safety reasons.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset stroll at Green Island Beach. The parking was convenient, and when the tide recedes, there is a spacious beach and numerous rock pools to discover.
