We're very excited to share all that there is to do in Jersey because you should really visit. You really may be surprised by all that this gorgeous island has to give. Based on these, we have chosen five highlights that you will not want to miss in your trip.
For starters, we can discuss the views. Even though Jersey is not that big, it certainly is a picturesque place! All around, rolling green hills as far as the eye can see and sparkling blue seas. Walking or hiking is one of the best ways to soak up that beautiful scenery. Depending on what kind of adventure you feel like, there is plenty of trails that you can choose from. There are easy trails for a nice relaxing stroll, and some that are more challenging for those who like to roam. We love a trail called the Coastal Path. This fantastic track circles the island and provides breathtaking sights of large cliffs and large waters. A stroll here will have you feeling one with nature!
Now, let's dive into Jersey's rich history and culture. It is a place with much history influenced by many nations but primarily France and England. To discover more of this history, try the Jersey Museum and Art Gallery. It is a nice museum filled with some cool exhibitions going from ancient times well into modern day. It is a great opportunity to witness how Jersey changed over the years! Also to experience the culture through delicious local foods. You can, for instance, sample Jersey fudge which is incredibly sweet and yummy. There are other local pubs that host live music, a nice ambiance as well.
For thrill seekers, Jersey has adventure sports in store for you. Countless fun things that will make your heart race. You can try surfing the waves or kayaking on their stillness and you can even coasteer, which is basically climbing around the rocks next to the sea. Or if you are extra brave maybe even cliff jumping! It sounds very adventurous! But if that sounds quite intimidating to you, then not to worry. You may also engage in plenty of other leisurely activities such as cycling on the beautiful trails or horse riding around the countryside. Adventure awaits everyone in Jersey!
Jersey is known for the best food, so food lovers are going to be your happiest! The island is also well-known for its fresh seafood. There are oysters, lobsters and scallops; all having them available the whole year round. However, the seafood is merely the tip of the iceberg! You can sample tasty local fare such as Jersey Royal potatoes ($676 at the time of writing 10 October 2023) and Jersey black butter (great for those with a sweet tooth). You can taste many of the award-winning cheeses and wines as well. Whatever type of food you enjoy, there will be something scrumptious for you to eat here! Even more good restaurant options too — from a nice dinner to a fun casual meal sweating at the table and with an ocean breeze.
And last but certainly not least — the beaches of Jersey. Possibly the prettiest beaches of any island in the world! The sand is warm and white, and the water wears crystal clear. Whatever it is that you love to do on the beach, be it sunbathing, swimming in the ocean or strolling down the coast side; there is a perfect place for you. The ones we love are St. Brelade's Bay, where all amenities and fun awaits you. Plemont Bay is also a lovely beach to explore those intriguing rock pools. All beaches are just stunning and have something special, so you will love any beach you choose in Jersey!
