Anne Port is a sandy beach on Jersey's east coast, between Gorey and St Catherine. It has always had very limited parking, so never becomes overcrowded.
It is overlooked at its southern end by a rock face known as Le Saut Geoffroi (Jeffrey's Leap) which legend has it was the scene of ancient executions, with those suspected of witchcraft pushed over the cliff face to die on the rocks below.
