Built in 1835 to defend Jersey’s coast against French attack, Lewis Tower is one of several fortifications built in St Ouen’s Bay at that time. Split over three levels, this granite tower provides basic stone hut accommodation with electricity and lighting but is not connected to any other utilities.

Public toilets (open 24 hours) are located close by. There is access by ladder to the roof, which is ideal for sun bathing or admiring the view across the bay.

Lewis Tower is close to many beachfront cafés and restaurants. The Jersey surf school is close by and two golf courses are a short distance away. Barge Aground, one of Jersey Heritage’s self catering properties, is just a hundred yards away and can be rented in tandem with Lewis Tower.

Local regulations insist that there should be no tents erected on site or in the surrounding area. Guests must bring their own sleeping bags. Rubbish must be cleared and removed from the tower.

Can accommodate up to ten people  overnight in sleeping bags -however only three day beds are provided  - up to  20 guests in daylight hours.
