Saint Aubin, Jersey

St. Aubin (Jèrriais: Saint Aubîn) is a town and port in La Vingtaine du Coin, St. Brelade in Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands.

It is located on the western end of St. Aubin's Bay, on the south coast of the island, opening out into the Gulf of Saint-Malo.

It retains a much more historic character than St. Helier, whose architecture has changed as the centre of Jersey's finance industry.

[5] Although St. Helier appears to have always been the Bailiwick's administrative capital and held the island's major market, St. Aubin was historically the centre for international trade, particularly during the Newfoundland cod-fishery.

[5] In the 19th century, the town of St. Helier experienced a large amount of growth due to the industrialisation of the island and immigration from France and England.

Saint Aubin enjoys a relatively warm version of temperate Oceanic climate (Cfb) with mild temperatures year round and rare negative extremes.

This fort is accessible on foot, at a low tide, via a causeway that runs from the road just in front of the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club.
