About Jersey

Jersey is the Channel Islands at its most expansive. The island is larger than Guernsey, with a personality to match — its south coast is dotted with resort hotels and lively harbour restaurants, while the north is a world of steep wooded valleys, dramatic headlands, and lanes that could be Normandy. St Helier, the capital, has the feel of a small European city: a covered market, excellent independent restaurants, and a nightlife that outlasts most UK cities. But it's the beaches that define Jersey — St Ouen's Bay on the west coast is one of the finest surf beaches in Northern Europe.

Highlights

June to September. September is arguably the best month — warm, uncrowded, spectacular light.
