Moonlight (or Daytime) Walk to Seymour Tower: Jersey's Tidal Wilderness

Wade through the largest tidal flats in the British Isles guided by a licensed Jersey expert, reaching the remote 18th-century Seymour Tower as the sea retreats miles from shore — an elemental, utterly unforgettable Channel Island adventure.

What to expect

Your licensed guide leads you 2.5 miles across rock pools, reef and sand as the tide retreats, revealing a lunar landscape teeming with marine life. The 18th-century tower looms romantically on its rocky plinth — climb it for 360° views of Jersey and the French coast on a clear day. The return walk races the incoming tide, adding a thrilling edge. Wildlife highlights include sea anemones, spider crabs, oystercatchers and, if you are lucky, seal sightings.
