St Aubin's Fort

Historic island fortress

This 16th-century fortress stands proudly on a tidal island just outside St Aubin's harbour, accessible by a scenic causeway walk at low tide. Built in the 1540s to protect Jersey's primary port, the fort tells the story of centuries of maritime defense, from English Civil War fortifications to WWII German bunkers. While the fort itself isn't open to the public, the walk across offers spectacular views back to the harbour and village, making it a perfect pre-dinner adventure just minutes from your table.
