Archirondel Tower

Close to St Catherine’s woods, the impressive St Catherine’s Breakwater and secluded beaches, Archirondel Tower provides a perfect venue to stay while you explore the north-eastern corner of Jersey.

 

Archirondel Tower was built on a rocky outcrop in St Catherine’s Bay in 1792 and was used as a garrison for artillery soldiers. This red and white tower is now linked to the shore by the abandoned southern arm of St Catherine’s Breakwater. 

 

There is no running water or toilet facilities at Archirondel Tower, however there is a beach café 100 yards away plus 24 hour access to toilets and showers. Guests will need to bring their own sleeping bags. The tower has electricity and lighting. Local regulations insist that there should be no tents erected on site or in the surrounding area. Rubbish must be cleared and removed from the tower.


Sleeps up to ten people in sleeping bags overnight - however only seven day beds provided - up to 20 guests in daylight hours.
