Anchor Bar & Grill sits above the picturesque harbour of St Aubin, Jersey's former maritime capital, brimming with seafaring history, island heritage and coastal charm.

St Aubin's Fort

Historic island fortress

Originally built in the 1540s to protect the natural harbour, St Aubin's Fort sits on a tidal island just offshore. At low tide you can walk out across the causeway, and the views back across the bay towards Anchor Bar & Grill and the village are worth every step. Free to visit and unlike anywhere else on the island. On your doorstep. Tidal access. 16th-century history. Stunning bay views.

Railway Walk Start

Victorian railway trail

The famous Railway Walk to Corbière lighthouse begins just steps from Anchor Bar & Grill at St Aubin's Parish Hall. This peaceful four-mile trail follows Jersey's historic railway line through woodlands and heathland, passing Jersey Lavender Farm and ending at the dramatic lighthouse. The beautifully maintained path tells the story of the Victorian railway that operated from 1870 until fire destroyed the station in 1936, creating today's beloved walking and cycling route.

Jersey's most famous beach is a short drive from The Boat House. Golden sand, clear water, and a 12th-century Fisherman's Chapel that's been watching over the bay since before anyone can remember. South-facing all day, sheltered by nature, and set up for everything from a quiet swim to a full afternoon of kayaking and paddleboarding. Come back to the harbour for a pint when you're done.
