Vingtaine de la Rocque is one of the four vingtaines of Grouville Parish on the Channel Island of Jersey. [1] It includes the uninhabited Minquiers. [2]
The Jersey Eastern Railway opened a station, at La Rocque, on 7 August 1873. The station was subsequently closed on 21 June 1929, and the station no longer exists. [3]
La Rocque harbour lies within the vingtaine. [4]
Waders and seabirds make regular use of the exposed shoreline and nearby fields for feeding. [5]
