Elizabeth Marina

Elizabeth Marina is Jersey's newest marina, which was opened in 1998. It has plenty of modern facilities, including electricity and water for each berth, and security cameras. Disabled access is good, with long ramps providing access to the pontoons.

Most vessels in this marina are the more expensive pleasure boats and yachts. The photo below shows a pair of brand new Fairline motor yachts.

At present there is a new Radisson SAS hotel being constructed, right next to the Elizabeth Marina. This hotel won't be open until late 2007, or 2008. However, there are plenty of other hotels nearby. These include the Pomme d'Or Hotel and the Grand Hotel.

You can find out more about St. Helier's main harbour, and nearby services on this page.

The above satellite photo shows the Elizabeth Marina, outlined in red. Elizabeth Castle can be seen, not far offshore. The castle can be accessed on foot, when the tide is low. On a high-tide there are amphibious vehicles which ferry passengers to the castle.

Rozel Bay

Rozel is situated on the north coast of Jersey, in the parish of St. Martin. This is a very small fishing port, and has quite a unique appearance and plenty of character.

The photo below was taken on a warm day in June 2007, as you can see there was a lot of sea mist around, which adds to the mystique and charm of Rozel.


The short pier, which harbours several small fishing boats, is constructed from the local volcanic rock. Several cafes, restaurants and hotels can be found here.

Rozel provides for fairly safe swimming, bathing and canoeing. Just like all of Jersey's beaches the water is very clean, you might even see the odd dolphin. The water is generally quite cold, but you may find warm patches of water near rocks which have stored the heat of the sun.

St. Helier Harbour

St. Helier harbour is comprised of a commercial port and various marinas for yachts and boats. There's also a lifeboat station and maritime museum, which is open all year round.

The photograph below, shows the older part of the harbour with Fort Regent in the background.

Elizabeth Marina

This is Jersey's newest marina, which was opened by HRH Prince Andrew in 1998. It has modern facilities, including electricity and water for each berth, and a pump out service available. The marina is monitored by CCTV for security purposes.

The newly constructed building, in the background of the photo, is the Harbour Reach apartment block.


Ferry Terminal

The Elizabeth Terminal, and other smaller terminals, are used by ferry operators. They operate on routes between Jersey, Guernsey, Poole, Portsmouth, Weymouth, St. Malo, Carteret and Granville. Car and passenger ferries operate on these routes.

If you are holidaying on Jersey, you might like to take a day trip to France. Journey time by ferry is approximately 1 hour. St. Malo is a very popular tourist destination.

Local Amenities

The Harbour is located in Jersey's main town of St. Helier. So, pretty much all services are available within walking distance, including banks, shopping areas, hotels, cinemas, gyms, swimming pool, the general hospital and tourist attractions.

Jersey Tourism's information centre is near by, you can visit them online at www.jersey.com.
