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.

Hopped on the 12a bus to the extreme west of Jersey to the Corbiere Lighthouse. The bus trip took us along the south coast of the Island, through delightful countryside and scenery and we walked out to the fine lighthouse on arrival. Stopped for a quick pick-me-at the hotel opposite the bus stop. A bracing and fulfilling venture

As well as being worth a visit in its own right, La Corbiere is also the starting point for an exhilarating 3-mile coast walk to St Brelades Bay.
Despite several ups and downs, the rocky path is well made, easy to follow and goes past some beautiful coves and beaches. When we did the walk in July the clifftops were ablaze with purple heather and yellow gorse.
From St Helier, buses 12A and 22 go to La Corbiere. Returning from St Brelades Bay, the 12A and 14 will take you back to the bus station.

It's a lighthouse, what more can I say?
The surrounding area is beautiful and ideal for walkers.
The day we went it was so windy it was hard to even walk and the sea choppy so no chance of getting any nearer to the lighthouse.
I imagine in the summer and at low tide it is worth the visit.

We walked from St Helier to the lighthouse and we were beginning to get a little tired when the majesty of the spectacular view revealed itself and we immediately forgot our weary limbs. We timed our walk to coincide with the tide being out and the walk out to the lighthouse is also interesting as it is flanked by several WW2 bunkers. There is a refreshment stall on site as well as a pub that overlooks. Would love to come back when the tide is in to see the contrast.

Ha d a lovely walk out to the lighthouse. If you time it right with the ride you can see lovely deep rock pools with lots of wildlife. It’s a slight shake you can actually get to the lighthouse but you can be very close. Ice cream van, plenty of parking and German bunkers too. Great views and a drink/food at the phare restaurant if wanted :)

The Corbiere Lighthouse is absolutely fascinating. It has a very mystic touch especially when the weather is not that great. You can walk to the Lighthouse when it is tide. I highly recommend this. Not only is it a good exercise but how many times in your life will you do things like that.
There is parking available. There are also some old bunkers left from the Germans in World War 2. It can be very windy. So chose the right clothes.
Brilliant thing to do for everyone. Couples, Friends & Family.

An utterly beautiful part of the island. Standing above the lighthouse by the German viewing post, the view is breath-taking, with the rocky coastline, the German gun positions and the lighthouse and surrounding rocks, alone when the tide is in and joined to the island mainland when the tide is out.
There is a decline walk down to the causeway over to the lighthouse, and it is a very nice experience to walk along this causeway, and read about the lighthouse, it's beginnings and the more recent history. Seabirds chatter from the rocks rising up near the lighthouse.
On the incline walk back up to the buildings above, there was a nice little ice cream kiosk selling Jersey ice cream which was delicious. The man serving was very pleasant and will tell you about the island, and even where to find the Jersey cows!
This location is a definite if you visit Jersey!

Beautiful lighthouse and scenery. Amazing seascapes make this a very picturesque place to while away an hour or two. Rent a bike and take the steady ride from St Helier with a stop at St Austin

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?

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.
