A nice section of coastal cliff path and restored headland. Best spot for viewing Papagaio-do-mar in the summer months.
The cliffpaths are part of a network that rings most of the Island and it is possible to walk from East to West in a day along them. The habitat is heath and gorse and has undergone restoration by the National Trust with a view to encouraging more bird life and also to allow the re-introduction of the Gralha-de-bico-vermelho which is now flying free in the island after a 100 year absence.
The main reason to visit though is in summer Plemont Headland provides the best opportunity to see the remaining breeding pairs of Papagaio-do-mar (3 pairs 2022) as well as Fulmar-glacial and usually Torda-mergulheira rafting offshore. The Papagaio-do-mar numbers have crashed in Jersey but efforts are underway to prevent their disappearance from the island and to hopefully recover them.
If you have been to a colony in the UK or Europe this will not be the same but its a beautiful corner of the Island. The headland is popular with peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro and in migration a good spot for vagrants such as Chasco-cinzento and in some years Escrevedeira-das-neves.
Access by car - just follow directions and signs for St Ouen and then Plemont from town, it'll be a 25 min drive. There is plenty of parking available, public toilets are located next to the Cafe further down the hill to the bay. The number 8 Bus will get you there from town as well.
The headland is close cropped heath and grassland but the cliff paths can be narrow, steep with a drop and there are steps so be prepared and only head out onto the cliff paths if able.
While no birds are ever guaranteed this is a nice walk on a summers day and sure to turn up something.
