St. Brelade, Jersey
St. Brelade uses GMT during winter and BST during summer, exactly like the rest of Jersey. Its bays and west-coast viewpoints are useful for daylight planning, but they do not alter the official local time.

Current time in St. Brelade, Jersey
The parish clock is set to Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0, in winter and British Summer Time, UTC+1, in summer. St. Brelade changes clocks with Jersey as a whole rather than maintaining an independent local rule.
For everyday island plans, this means no conversion is necessary between St. Brelade and St Helier, St Peter or any other Jersey parish. Visitors arriving from abroad should compare their departure location with Jersey on the travel date, especially if the two places change clocks on different schedules.
GMT is the winter setting. BST is the summer setting. BST places the clock one hour ahead of GMT. The displayed current time should already reflect the applicable setting. The beach may tempt you to lose track of time; fortunately, Jersey keeps track on your behalf.
St. Brelade’s populated areas
St. Brelade is a parish in south-west Jersey, not a formal city. References to “largest cities” on a regional page should therefore be read as a guide to prominent settlements and neighbourhoods rather than a municipal ranking.
St Aubin is a historic harbour settlement partly associated with the parish, while Quennevais is a substantial residential area. The parish also includes communities around St. Brelade’s Bay and extends toward Jersey Airport near the boundary with St Peter. St Helier lies farther east and functions as the island’s principal town.
These names can help a reader choose a suitable local point for weather, daylight or travel planning. None has a separate clock. The short geographic distances within Jersey do not create meaningful civil-time differences, even though an unobstructed coastal horizon can change how sunrise or sunset is experienced.
Sunrise, sunset and the coast
The daily sunrise time depends on the date. In summer, daylight begins earlier and lasts longer than in winter. Sunset likewise shifts over the year, an important detail for beach visits, coastal walks and photography.
St. Brelade is known for western and south-western coastal settings, which can provide broad views toward sunset. Sunrise occurs on the opposite side of the sky, so surrounding land or buildings may affect its visibility. A calculated parish value does not describe every cove or street with equal precision.
Select the precise day of the planned activity. Distinguish sunrise from the earlier period of dawn. Check the orientation and accessibility of the viewpoint. Use a weather forecast to assess likely visibility.
Tide information is separate from sunrise and local time. Anyone entering a tidal area should consult an appropriate tide timetable and local safety information rather than drawing conclusions from the daylight hours alone.
Questions and answers

- Is St Aubin in another time zone?
- No. St Aubin and all other Jersey communities share the island’s local time.
- Is sunrise the best time for a west-facing coastal view?
- Not necessarily. Western viewpoints are oriented more naturally toward sunset, although local terrain and the exact location matter.
