Island 239 - L'Islet, Bouley Bay, Jersey, Channel Islands

L'Islet is a very small rocky tidal island located about 50 metres from the beach at Bouley Bay on the north coast of Jersey.  It may be small but it is also perfectly formed and a delightful spot on a sunny afternoon.  There is a narrow path up the rocks on the western side and the top of the island has a few trees growing on it - at least one of them is a holm oak.  It had a geocache on it, although I couldn't find it.  Part of the island is exposed rock and the rest is covered in grass, heather, gorse, ivy and a few wild flowers.

The excellent Mad Mary's Café is about 200 miles away on the promenade above the beach.  Mad Mary is warm and friendly and couldn't be more helpful or accommodating.  I can highly recommend the millionaire's shortbread and the marmite on toast and my friend loved her apple pie.
