We undertook a really enjoyable return walk from St Aubyn to Corbiere, which was the halfway point.
As we still had another four miles to walk until we returned to St Aubyn, we elected not to walk to the actual lighthouse, but sit and enjoy the view with a welcome cup of tea from a mobile cafe.
We were lucky with the weather too, as it was a warm and sunny early September day.

This is a fairly unusual lighthouse, built on a offshore rocky outcrop off the South-Western corner of the island, yet accessible on foot via a causeway at low tide. It's quite good fun walking out along the causeway, stopping to inspect the countless rock pools along the way, slipping on the seaweed-strewn path and finally ascending the rock to reach the lighthouse, although unfortunately the building itself isn't open to the public. Visiting in February, we made this walk out in a howling wind with large waves crashing over the rocks, which added some drama to the whole experience. It goes without saying - check the tide times before you cross, as you really don't want to be stranded out there.
Bus 12a runs out here regularly from St Helier via St Aubin and there is a small layby for cars to park overlooking the causeway. A toilet block can be found up the hill near the bus stop and on the other side of the road there is a gravel path which follows the route of the old railway line to St Aubin (and on around the bay to St Helier), which is a nice walk and a good alternative to taking the bus back.

We walked from St. Heliers to Corbiere Lighthouse via St. Aubins (stopped for a coffee at Costa).
Lovely walk along the old railway track, relatively flat, alongside a nice golf course.
It was approximately 13 miles but it didn't feel it.
The views were amazing, we sat on a bench and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
On the way back, we turned towards the main road on about the 3rd road and caught a bus (number 22) back to St. Heliers Liberty Bus Station.
If you type bus stops in the maps of your mobile, it will count down until your bus arrives. The bus drivers are fantastic and always arrive on time, wished we had tipped them. All trips seemed to cost £2.10 by card payment (accept cash too).

Loved this pretty quiet little spot, went during the day and had the most lovely ice cream from a van parked up and beautiful view and walk out to the lighthouse. Returned one evening to watch the sunset and wow, honestly was so beautiful it was emotional. Loved it.

Located in a striking setting this lighthouse deserves more time than we could have given it At low tide a carriageway allows access.
Next door is a huge bunker lighthouse that should have been approached
On the road leading to it we admired this work made of crochet and knit.👋
The bus trip allows you to cross charming villages and see beautiful landscapes

Any walk across the causeway must coincide with the low tide. Thankfully, a siren sounds to warn people to leave the island once the sea starts approaching the causeway again. Do not delay leaving the island because once the siren sounds, the sea covers the causeway, surprisingly quickly.
It isn't possible to walk up to the lighthouse itself, but there are seats to sit on, allowing visitors to rest and enjoy the views of the coast.
If you like birds, you may well see Oystercatchers and Kestrels here.
It is possible to come here by car, bus or on foot along the Old Railway Walk from St.Aubin.
I recommend visiting here if you like beautiful scenery and seeing wildlife.

We love attending Corbiere when in Jersey and this time we got lucky that the tide was actually out so we could walk all the way across to the lighthouse.
The views from any point (lighthouse or mainland) are great, and walking across you realise just how crystal clear the water is when you see little pools with fish in! We always recommend this spot to our friends when they come to Jersey and we love attending here and often will drive here on our way to the airport as it is just a lovely place to be.
An ice cream man is typically positioned at the top in the car park as well which is great for some proper Jersey ice cream!

We timed our visit so that we would be able to walk across the causeway just after it was exposed by the falling tide, so that the water was still surrounding the rocks. Walking across is strangely thrilling, I’m not quite sure why - maybe it’s like walking on the seabed, and the rock formations are stunning. The restaurant nearby has a great dining room with stunning views, and it’s all within easy reach on the bus - just a few minutes walk.

I hadn’t expected much but was amazed both by the stunning views, especially the rocks and the history of the place. It was a very windy day but that just added to the experience. It was easy to reach by bus and then a short walk along a narrow path to get nearer to the lighthouse. Afterwards, we had coffee and food in the nearby restaurant which was very good indeed and also offered beautiful views. A highly recommended visit!

Apparently the first lighthouse to be built with concrete in the British Isles? Rocks look fierce so many wrecks here. WW2 bunkers everywhere worth exploring. Bus stops just by the restaurant and we had lunch which was very enjoyable with an excellent view.
Great for walking here just make sure you beat the tide over the causway!

Hello. How do you go about booking a tour of the lighthouse?
Written June 18, 2018
The lighthouse is not publicly accessible
Written January 21, 2019
My late partner wanted his ashes scattered at the lighthouse can you advise the most beautiful band excessable spot pleas
Written September 19, 2017
There is a road that leads to the car parking areas.
The lighthouse can only be accessed at low tide as you walk across the sand to it. I don't think it's open very often so may be worth finding out beforehand.
There are plenty of beautiful spots all around because as you approach you are quite high up and you can walk along the cliff edges which looks out to sea.
Hope that makes sense?
Written September 20, 2017
There is no admission to the lighthouse except on a very few days a year when there is a guided tour with a blue-badge guide. You can walk over to the base of the light-house from about mid-tide free and for nothing. This lighthouse has never been occupied (the keepers lived in the cottage at the landward side of the causeway) so there is very little room inside. It was the first concrete LH to be built and originally ran on clockwork and paraffin. Only needed to visited once a day to refuel and rewind.
