The Delightful Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands

Imagine beaches washed clean by the tide, fresh sea air and barefoot paddling in the shallows. Imagine a weekend of waking up to views of cliffs, sea and sky, with the promise of bright and breezy beach walks in Jersey’s sunlight. Imagine a place where you can be together in the warm summer sun. A place where you’re free to reconnect and revitalise. With a flight time of under an hour from UK airports, you don't need to imagine. You can finish work on a Friday and be in Jersey in time for sunset with a beer in your hand. This is Jersey. An island shaped by the sea where some of the most astonishing tides in the world circle the coast and feed the land. An island that's small on size, but big on personality, where country lanes open to cliff top views and the sea is never more than ten minutes away. An island of rediscovery packed with activities to experience and explore.
