30 Bays Summer Challenge 2026

Before you enter 30 Bays Summer Challenge 2026

The 30 Bays Summer Challenge raises vital funds which help our charities deliver much needed services. Your fundraising makes a massive difference.

‘Seas’ the summer! Can you tick off all 30 Bays over July and August? You can complete the challenge in a variety of ways:

The original 30 Bays challenge – do a sea-based activity! Take a longer swim in the sea or a quick dip, or perhaps paddleboard or kayak
Stay on land and simply connect to your coast – visit each bay, build a sandcastle, grab a photo at every location, or grab an ice cream
Visit the bays of your choice – we understand not everyone to get to all 30. Not sure you can get to certain bays? Pick your favourites and visit them 30 times instead.

Also - NEW for 2026 – Enjoy our mini Scavenger Hunt 'Tide & Seek' – can you spot the secret coastal symbols on each 30 Bays sign? It's a great way to enjoy 30 Bays if you don't want to go in the sea, or as an extra fun challenge!

30 Bays is all about getting in touch with our beautiful and precious coast, creating great memories and enjoying the summer in a fun or active way. And as always, please remember to only leave footprints after you visit each bay, to help keep our environment looking as spectacular as ever.

On social media? Don’t forget to tag us or use the hashtags #nationaltrustforjersey #jerseyhospicecare #30Bays30days #30BaysSummerChallenge so we can see much you’re enjoying the challenge.

Above all, stay safe and have fun!

About 30 Bays Summer Challenge 2026

Thank you for signing up to the 30 Bays Summer Challenge, celebrating 10 Years in 2026!

Opening Swim: Sunday 28June at 10:00 Greve de Lecq

Closing Swim: Sunday 30 August at 10:00 Greve de Lecq

The first 100 people to sign up will also receive a special 10th Anniversary 30 Bays swim hat. Swim hats can be collected from Jersey Hospice Care, Mont Cochon and The National Trust HQ 'The Elms' in St Mary, from the middle of June.

T-shirts can also be purchased from The National Trust in St Mary and during the opening and closing swims.

Thank You to Fairway Group for being this year’s sponsors. This fundraising challenge is a fantastic way to explore our beautiful island: visit your favourite beaches or discover some hidden gems, plus it’s a great way to get out and about and spend time with family, friends or colleagues. And, while you enjoy your summer, we ask that you commit to raising a minimum of £50, which will go to two very worthwhile local charities, Jersey Hospice Care and The National Trust for Jersey.
