Snorkel Bouley

Tucked away on the north coast of Jersey, Bouley Bay is nestled between Jersey’s tallest cliffs, with a pebble stone beach and a sandy shelf descending into deep blue waters. A long, winding hill poses the only access down to this secluded bay; home to a tiny harbour and Jersey’s only dive centre— Bouley Bay Dive Centre.

The Jersey Snorkel Trails provide residents and tourists the opportunity to explore Jersey’s valuable marine environment. There are now two snorkel trails in Jersey, Snorkel Portelet and Snorkel Bouley. Both snorkel trails are made up of three components: the self-guided trail itself, an education programme and a citizen science portal.

With around 3200 marine species and habitats, Jersey boasts some of the richest coastal waters in Europe. They are highly biodiverse; extensive seagrass meadows, kelp forests, maerl beds, and reef structures provide habitats for species such as dolphins, seals, sunset cup corals, and rare pink sea fans.
