St Peter: What you need to know
- Location: The parish of St Peter is home to Jersey’s airport and is only a short drive from St Helier.
- Atmosphere: Set in the west of the island, the parish has two stretches of coastline, St Ouen’s Bay in the west and St Aubin’s in the south.
- Things to do: Explore the spectacular St Ouen’s Bay with La Rocco Tower, the sand dunes, beachside eateries and fabulous surfing. But Jersey is relatively small so the entire island, with its beaches, boating, gorgeous countryside, and shopping and culture opportunities is on your doorstep.
- Schools: Jersey has a selection of excellent private and state schools, including Jersey’s College for Girls, Victoria College and Hautlieu.Find more properties in the area.
