Gorey Marina At Low Tide

Gorey harbour is situated on the east coast of the island. The castle of Mont Orgueil stands above the Gorey village. Gorey Marina has been used for loading cargo since at least the Middle Ages. In 1849 a lighthouse was built on the end of the Gorey Harbour Pier.

Sinse the midle of 19 century Gorey became an important commercial and tourist link with Normandy. In 1890 the Jersey Eastern Railway opened an extension to the pier to serve the French ferries.
