Jersey

Jersey - the most southerly and largest of the Channel Islands, and well- known as an important offshore finance centre.

Sheltered sandy beaches and exposed bays offer clear, clean waters, the perfect locations for outdoor pursuits. Jersey offers a safe environment, mild climate and interests which will suit all ages.

Popular with families, young people and active older visitors, Jersey offers many activities, more than 100 excellent restaurants, and great VAT-free shopping.

Only 14 miles from the French coast, Jersey is a magical blend of English charm with French influences, bringing together the best of both worlds, and with its mild climate, where summer lingers longer, Jersey is an ideal all year round escape from the cooler British mainland just across the Channel.

Sheltered sandy beaches and clear, warm (ish ) waters provide the perfect location for the traditional sun, sea and sand family seaside holiday- with an up to date twist.

Jersey also has a contemporary and sophisticated side, with first class tax free shopping opportunities, fine golfing and sailing venues, as well as a huge variety of restaurants, bistros and cafes serving the very best Anglo- French cuisine based on wonderful fresh local produce - there’s something to please everyone.

The Island is home to the world-renowned Durrell Wildlife; there are hands-on museums that bring island history to life, as well as towers, mazes, markets, potteries, galleries and castles to explore!

After an action-packed day of sport or sightseeing, you can enjoy an equally fun-filled night on the town. You’ll find the very best in theatre, comedy and live music in the capital, St Helier, along with a wide choice of films at the Waterfront Centre’s 10-screen cinema.
