🐟 faulker fisheries
Faulkner Fisheries operates from a former German bunker built during the Second World War as part of the island’s coastal defences. The reinforced concrete structure at L’Étacq has since been transformed from a wartime fortification into a working fisheries, where live shellfish are kept and sold, giving the site a unique blend of history and local maritime tradition.

💩stinky bay
Stinky Bay, a local nickname affectionately used by islanders, is known for its strong seaweed smell caused by tidal movement and decaying kelp along the shoreline. Despite the name, it’s a beautiful and rugged spot, with rocky pools, clear water and plenty of marine life hiding among the rocks. The bay is popular with locals who appreciate its wild feel, coastal views and rich natural character, especially at low tide when the shoreline really comes alive.

✈️air raid shelter
The open-air raid shelter up the hill is a relic from Jersey’s German occupation during World War II. This shelter consists of reinforced concrete walls and a partially covered roof, offering protection from aerial attacks while remaining exposed to the elements. Today, it stands as a historical reminder of the island’s wartime past, quietly blending into the surrounding landscape.
