Food scene
Great for watersports, food, families and to watch the sunset.
Place to eat/drink: --
El Tico - Top of my list. Simply great food for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
WaterSplash - Perfect for families, games of pool and chippy dinner and music to watch sunset. Check their Facebook page to see if there is live music on over the summer.
Corbiere Phare at the lighthouse isn't directly St Ouens but not far and amazing views.
Cheap & good eats= The Hideout or The Line Up for shack takeaway food.
Other eateries include: Sands, La Braye and La Pulente, Jersey Pearl.
Parking is free all along St Ouens 5 mile beach. Public toilets are dotted around.
Ice cream: Actually the best ice cream in the island is at St Ouens. It uses Jersey Dairy and the lady does amazing monthly specials and screwballs for the kids! Ask her about them! She can be found in the car park opposite Jersey Pearl.
