Details

Great example of the round towers dotted around the island. This one has parking across the road and a food truck beside it. Le Hocq Tower is a great example of Jersey’s 🇯🇪unique form of coastal defence tower, developed by Sir Henry Seymour Conway in the late 18th century. Whilst the exact date of construction is unknown, we do know that the tower was built by the time of the Battle of Jersey in January 1781, because the French invading force, led by De Rullecourt, turned inland at Pontac to avoid passing Le Hocq on their way to St Helier. Scenic beach great little kiosk popular for swimming and paddle boarding on the beach.
