The Jersey coastline features majestic cliffs, exposed bays, sandy beaches and rocky coves with fantastic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. Inland you’ll find lush valleys, unspoilt countryside and cosy village inns.
The island’s capital, St Helier, offers tax free shopping, fine restaurants and a lively nightlife with a range of clubs and late night bars to suit most tastes.
