Swim No. 25 - La Coupe. My ‘go to’ beach when I need some #vitaminsea. It takes about 15 minutes to drive here from my house and the limited parking, treacherous drive down and lack of facilities means that it’s rarely crowded. If there are 5 cars parked here I sometimes hesitate! La Coupe has soft, white sand at the top end, an interesting collection of stones, shells and sea glass and rocks for scrambling. I often bring family here when they visit as it’s a safe bay for children. The water here was a bit murky due to the recent storm but still wonderfully refreshing after a long week at work. I swam with a friend from work who’d never been here before and we had the entire beach to ourselves! . . . . . #seaswimming #visitjersey #digitalhumanbeans #thisanxiousadventurer #jerseytravelblog #jerseychannelislands #jerseyproud #jerseyci #lacoupe #stmartin #30baysin30days #ishouldhavebeenamermaid #bestjulyever #lovewhereyoulive #thisiswhyimovedhere (at Jersey)

Swim No. 21 - Beauport. My first love! When I first moved to Jersey I lived about a 10 minute walk from this beach and did not take advantage of that at all! This remains one of my most favourite beaches of all time. Stony at the top and a bit of a challenge to get to, the bay then opens out to be sandy and gently sloping to turquoise water. This view is to the east and is a rock called the Clocktower. For my swim here I swam around the rock. Usually this would make me nervous as it involves swimming over rocks and seaweed but I did it and I’m proud I did. Had a sunbathe here too and just enjoyed being in the bay, even for an ice cream from the kiosk in the car park so it felt like a real summer holiday day. . . . . . #30baysin30days #beauport #stbrelade #seaswimming #ishouldhavebeenamermaid #sandytoesandsaltyskin #iphoneography #theclocktower #thisanxiousadventurer #digitalhumanbeans #jerseyci #jerseytravelblog #visitjersey #vitaminsea #jerseychannelislands (at Beauport Beach)

Swim No. 17 - Havres des Pas. Another bay I’m not normally fond of. It’s difficult to park and there is often a lot of seaweed. I still had to park a way away and walk to the beach but this little bay really charmed me with its soft yellow sand and calm water. I can absolutely understand now why it is popular. One of the great things about this challenge has been having my perceptions about certain locations totally blown out of the water- so to speak! Every bay is so different depending on the tide, the weather and what else is happening on the beach. This was a relaxing and enjoyable swim, the water was a good temperature and NO SIGN OF SEAWEED!!! . . . . . #30baysin30days #visitjersey #seaswimming #ishouldhavebeenamermaid #thisanxiousadventurer #digitalhumanbeans #havresdespas #sthelier #jerseytravelblog #jerseyci #jerseychannelislands #iphoneography #iphone7plus #beachlife (at St. Helier, Jersey)

When the sea, sky and sand are the same colour. Just having some lunch at one of the excellent beachside kiosks and watching the surfers. There are some very big waves out there today but they’re too far away for me to photograph! I think I’ll go and get my feet in the sand though, I never truly feel like I’m back in Jersey until I’ve been to the beach and felt the sand between my toes. And I’ve been back for nearly two weeks! . . . . . #stouen #stouensbay #fivemilebeach #greydays #severalshadesofgrey #thelineup #lunchatthebeach #wintersurfers #somecrazypeopleareinthewater #digitalhumanbeans #thisanxiousadventurer #homeagain (at Saint Ouen, Jersey)

Swim No. 8 - Le Hocq. The hottest day of the year - again! This summer is shaping up to be pretty fabulous. I met up with my friend here and we ventured into the somewhat seaweedy bay at La Hocq. Once in deep enough for the seaweed not to touch us it was lovely! Plenty of people out enjoying all that #jerseyci has to offer. I would have hesitated here if I had been alone, swimming with other people is so much easier! . . . . . #30baysin30days #lovewhereyoulive #childofthesea #instagood #vitaminsea #dontlikeseaweed #thisanxiousadventurer #digitalhumanbeans #seaswimming #lehocq #stclement (at Saint Clement, Jersey)
