Jersey | 2018 Bucket List

Reasons why Jersey should be on your 2018 Travel Bucket List

1. Stunning beaches …

In Jersey, you’re never more than ten minutes from the sea. Take your pick of white sandy beaches or rocky shorelines. The award-winning St Brelade’s Bay beach is ranked the best beach in the UK. For a little piece of paradise – take the steps down to Beauport Bay for a secluded spot with white sand and clear waters.

Take a look at this Jersey Beaches Guide

2. Sunsets

Sunsets in Jersey are really something spectacular and rival some of the best in the world (& we aren’t being bias!). There is nothing better than heading down to St Ouen’s Bay and watching the sun go down. To make the experience even more enjoyable – grab a picnic or BBQ to take with you! You will not be disappointed…

3. Trips to Les Écréhous & Les Minquiers

With crystal clear waters and white sands – you’ll feel as though you are in a Caribbean paradise! The best part? It is only a short boat ride from Jersey. You can take the trip to both locations with Jersey Seafaris. They regularly spot dolphins on the way too!

4. Great food

Jersey is known particularly for its great seafood. Look out for local oysters, mackerel, sea bass and spider crabs. You can even visit a local Oyster farm by taking part in a guided Oyster Walk.

5. The Chilled Out Vibe

The laid-back nature and friendliness of the Islanders is often what is referred to as ‘The Jersey Way’. It is very relaxed here – how could it not be? 9×5 miles of stunning scenery, award-winning beaches and activities to keep all ages busy!

Both the sunrise & sunset in Jersey are quite spectacular and definitely worth a watch when visiting Jersey in all seasons.

Steve Walker | #MyJerseyFive

Head Chef, Steve Walker, gives his top 5 recommendations for Winter in Jersey…

1. Visit El Tico & take a walk along St Ouens Bay

El Tico is an Island favourite – a real Insta opportunity! Cosy surroundings inside with views out to sea! On a milder day you can still sit outside (they even provide blankets!)

Steve likes to pair his visit to El Tico with a long walk along St Ouens Bay, situated on the famous ‘Five Mile Road’ – miles of long sandy beach! Nothing better than breathing in that fresh sea air!
