Asset Overview

La Pierre aux Crabes at Le Hocq, Jersey. You can find it on the beach about 100m southeast of Le Hocq slip. It's a large block of coarse-grained La Rocque type granite measuring 5.5m x 2m x 1.8m that makes a good hiding place for crabs, hence its name. It has been suggested to be a fallen menhir as it tapers to a point at one end, although this has been disputed.
