The Island measures roughly 9 miles by 5 miles and is tilted to the south, with cliffs in the north, sheltering small bays and constructed harbours, with a high point of 150 metre, falling to the south and west where there are wide sandy beaches.
Streams drain the island, through valleys, largely running from north to south, which shelter woodland and wet meadows, whilst the north, west and south west cliffs support a range of heathland habitats of European importance. Sand dunes, in the west of the island, the largest of which makes up a significant portion of St Ouen's Bay are also of international importance for their flora and invertebrate fauna. Over half of Jersey's land surface is used for some form of agriculture.
