Visit Jersey Visitor Guide

Up to six tours and tastings daily

In each edition of our Visit Jersey Visitor Guide, we ask one of our islanders, who live and work in the island and symbolise local life, to introduce you to Jersey.

Welcome

To my island.

Roger Le Maistre Owner/Director of the Valley Adventure Centre &

Holidays Self-Catering

Born and bred in Jersey, I have been extremely fortunate to have lived, worked and enjoyed all that is “Jersey” for over 50 years. Coming into our long summer season, the island is stunning in full bloom, with the trees in leaf and the summer flowers blooming attracting the busy bees. We are enjoying air temperatures over 20 degrees and sea temperatures over 16 degrees and rising which underpins our “outdoor life” in Jersey.

Starting a day with an early family walk and dip in the sea on Gorey beach (with the dog of course), a breakfast bap (and doggy sausage) at Rhonas on the slip, then onto the Valley Adventure Centre to enjoy an adventurous activity morning with all the family, we then stop off at the Le Braye Café for some well-earned lunch. The activities continue into the afternoon, with an amazing rib trip to the Minquiers from the St. Helier harbour and back (passing through a large pod of dolphins on the way there) we are ready for our evening meal at El Tico overlooking the stunning St. Ouen’s Bay and sunset – what more can you ask for? With amazing local attractions like Jersey Zoo, The Jersey War Tunnels, La Mare Vineyard, aMaizin! Adventure and all the Jersey Heritage sites and so much more, there is plenty to keep everyone happy for weeks.

The island has so much to offer for the more adventurous, and it is a great time of year to walk on the northern cliff paths from bay to bay, taking in the stunning scenery of the coastline, sea, French coast and other Channel Islands or maybe jump on an EVie Hire Bike and ride on some of our large network of amazing “Green Lanes” where the speed limit has been restricted to just 15mph.

With restaurants a plenty and so many beautiful beaches to choose from, the island is truly a jewel in the crown.

Activity/Travel

“This is a must do on the island”

Where are you?

GET SET! THINGS TO KNOW WHILE YOU’RE HERE

You’re on our beautiful little island in the English Channel but you’re a lot closer to France (around 14 miles at the closest point) than you are to England (closer to 100 miles). You’re surrounded by four other main Channel Islands; Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm and a handful of smaller inhabited and uninhabited islands. Our nearest coastal towns in France are Granville and the historic port of Saint-Malo. The term “Channel Islands” began to be used around 1830, possibly first by the Royal Navy as a collective name for the islands.

Bienvenue

Où es-tu?

Vous êtes sur notre belle petite île de la Manche mais vous êtes beaucoup plus proche de la France (environ 22 km au plus près) que de l'Angleterre (plus près de 100 km). Vous êtes entouré de quatre autres îles anglo-normandes principales ; Guernesey, Alderney, Sark et Herm et une poignée de petites îles habitées et inhabitées. Nos villes côtières les plus proches en France sont Granville et le port historique de SaintMalo. Le terme « îles anglo-normandes » a commencé à être utilisé vers 1830, peut-être d'abord par la Royal Navy comme nom collectif pour les îles.

Willkommen

Wo befinden Sie sich?

Sie sind auf unserer wunderschönen kleinen Insel im Ärmelkanal, aber eigentlich viel näher an Frankreich (nur etwa 22 Kilometer Luftlinie) als an England (bis dorthin sind es über 160 Kilometer).

Eine Handvoll kleinere bewohnte und unbewohnte Inseln und die vier größeren Kanalinseln Guernsey, Alderney, Sark und Herm umgeben Sie. Granville und der historische Hafen von Saint-Malo sind unsere nächstgelegenen französischen Küstenstädte. Der Begriff „Kanalinseln“ wird seit etwa 1830 verwendet, wahrscheinlich hat die Royal Navy ihn damals eingeführt als Sammelbezeichnung für die Inseln.

Money

Pounds Sterling is the legal tender but we also have our own banknotes and coins which are classed as accepted tender elsewhere in the UK, people can take it, but they don’t have to - so don’t forget to spend your last few pound notes on souvenirs before you leave. If you forget though, a pound note also makes a great souvenir. Also, if you hold one of our bank notes up to the light you’ll not see a British king or queen in the hologram but the image of one of our own royalty.

De l'argent

La livre sterling est la monnaie légale, mais nous avons également nos propres billets et pièces qui sont classés comme monnaie acceptée ailleurs au RoyaumeUni, les gens peuvent le prendre, mais ils n'y sont pas obligés - alors n'oubliez pas de dépenser vos dernières livres notes sur les souvenirs avant de partir. Si vous oubliez cependant, un billet d'une livre fait également un excellent souvenir. De plus, si vous tenez l'un de nos billets de banque à la lumière, vous ne verrez pas l'image de la reine Elizabeth II dans l'hologramme, mais l'image de l'un de nos propres membres de la royauté.

Geld

Das Britische Pfund Sterling ist das offizielle Zahlungsmittel, aber wir haben auch unsere eigenen Banknoten und Münzen, die theoretisch überall in Großbritannien als akzeptiertes Zahlungsmittel gelten. Theoretisch. Besser geben Sie vor Abreise Ihre letzten paar Jersey-Pfund aus für nette Souvenirs. Oder Sie behalten einfach direkt eine Jersey-Pfundnote als Souvenir. Denn wenn Sie eine unserer Banknoten gegen das Licht halten, sehen Sie im Hologramm nicht das Bild von Königin Elizabeth II., sondern das Bild eines unserer eigenen Könige.

Our Population

Since the last census in 2011 it’s estimated that our population has grown to around 105,500. You’ll find most of us in and around St. Helier leaving most of the northern, easterly and westerly parishes unspoilt and rural in nature. Roughly 50% of Jersey dwellers on the last census were locally born with 31% from the UK, 7% from Portugal/Madeira, 3% from Poland, 2% from Ireland and the rest from elsewhere.

Notre population

Depuis le dernier recensement de 2011, on estime que notre population est passée à environ 105 500. Vous trouverez la plupart d'entre nous dans et autour de Saint-Hélier, laissant la plupart des paroisses du nord, de l'est et de l'ouest intactes et de nature rurale. Environ 50% des habitants de Jersey lors du dernier recensement étaient nés localement, dont 31% du Royaume-Uni, 7% du Portugal / Madère, 3% de Pologne, 2% d'Irlande et le reste d'ailleurs.

Unsere Bevölkerung

Seit der letzten Volkszählung im Jahr 2011 ist unsere Bevölkerung auf rund 105.500 angewachsen. Sie finden die meisten von uns in und um St. Helier, während die nördlichen, östlichen und westlichen Gemeinden überwiegend ländlich geprägt und ruhig sind. Etwa 50 % der Einwohner Jerseys wurden schon auf der Insel geboren, 31 % stammen aus dem Vereinigten Königreich, 7 % aus Portugal/ Madeira, 3 % aus Polen, 2 % aus Irland und der Rest aus anderen Ländern.

GETTING ABOUT

Arriving and leaving

If you arrive by air you’ll be one of a historical average of 1.6 million passengers per year to use Jersey Airport in the west of the island. Served by buses and taxis for onward travel right outside the arrivals hall, hire car services are also available inside the arrivals hall. Foreign exchange and postal services, including posting excess baggage are available in the departures hall.

www.jerseyairport.com / +44 (0) 1534 446000

If you’re wearing your sea legs, you’ll have arrived in St. Helier, Jersey’s capital. Taxis are available outside the arrivals hall although central St. Helier is only a short walk away. Scheduled ferries operate between the Channel Islands, England and France and for those with their own boat Jersey Marinas offer a whole host of services for which they’ve earned ‘5 Gold Anchor’ status, an internationally recognised accolade.

www.ports.je / +44 (0) 1534 446000

Ankommen und abreisen

Wenn Sie mit dem Flugzeug anreisen, gehören Sie zu den historisch durchschnittlich 1,6 Millionen Passagieren pro Jahr, die den Flughafen Jersey im Westen der Insel nutzen. Direkt vor der Ankunftshalle stehen Taxis für die Weiterreise bereit, Mietwagenanbieter finden Sie in der Ankunftshalle. In der Abflughalle finden Sie eine Wechselstube und eine Post, die auch Übergepäck, versendet. www.jerseyairport.com

Wenn Sie den Seeweg bevorzugen, kommen Sie in St. Helier, der Hauptstadt von Jersey, an. Wie auch am Flughafen stehen Busse und Taxis vor der Ankunftshalle bereit und das Zentrum von St. Helier ist nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Linienfähren verkehren zwischen den Kanalinseln, England und Frankreich, und für Gäste mit eigenem Boot bieten die Jachthäfen von Jersey eine ganze Reihe von Dienstleistungen an, für die sie den „5 Gold Anchor“-Status erhalten haben, eine international anerkannte Auszeichnung.. www.ports.je /

Arriver et partir

Si vous arrivez par avion, vous ferez partie d'une moyenne historique de 1,6 million de passagers par an à utiliser l'aéroport de Jersey à l'ouest de l'île. Desservi par des taxis pour continuer le voyage juste devant le hall des arrivées, des services de location de voitures sont également disponibles à l'intérieur du hall des arrivées. Les services de change et postaux, y compris le dépôt des excédents de bagages, sont disponibles dans le hall des départs.

www.jerseyairport.com / +44 (0) 1534 446000

Si vous avez le pied marin, vous serez arrivé à Saint-Hélier, la capitale de Jersey. Comme l'aéroport, des bus et des taxis sont disponibles à l'extérieur du hall des arrivées, bien que le centre de Saint-Hélier ne soit qu'à quelques pas. Des ferries réguliers opèrent entre les îles anglo-normandes, l'Angleterre et la France et pour ceux qui ont leur propre bateau, les marinas de Jersey offrent une multitude de services pour lesquels ils ont obtenu le statut de "5 Gold Anchor", une distinction internationalement reconnue.

Driving

If you get lost, it’s worth bearing in mind that most locals won’t know where the A6 or B12 roads are, because all of our roads bear their own names in addition to these classifications. Your best bet? Point on a map or tell someone where you’re trying to get to! If you’re renting a car you’ll notice that the registration plate bears a white ‘H’ on a red background which denotes it as a hired vehicle. You’d best not flag down one of these for directions as they’re probably lost too. Like the United Kingdom, we drive on the left hand side of the road and all speed limits are posted in mph. The maximum permissable speed limit anywhere is 40mph, with a large number of 30mph and 20mph zones. In the rural parishes you may also notice signs denoting ‘Green Lanes’ where the maximum speed limit is 15mph and right of way is given to those walking, cycling or riding horses. You’re

also likely to come across a local driving phenomenon known as filter in turn. As you approach one, priority is given to traffic on your right. After they’ve made their move it’s your turn and traffic on your left will yield to you. It’s a great way to keep traffic flowing and once you see it in action it’ll all make sense. The mini roundabout at the bottom of Beaumont Hill is a prime example. Don’t panic, you’ll be fine!

Enjoy, relax & Breathe

We are here 7 days a Week !

Driving - continued

Conduite

Si vous vous perdez, sachez que la plupart des habitants ne sauront pas où se trouvent les routes A6 ou B12, car toutes nos routes portent leur propre nom en plus de ces classifications. Votre meilleur pari ? Pointez sur une carte ou dites à quelqu’un où vous essayez de vous rendre ! Si vous louez une voiture, vous remarquerez que la plaque d’immatriculation porte un « H » blanc sur fond rouge qui indique qu’il s’agit d’un véhicule de location. Vous feriez mieux de ne pas signaler l’un d’entre eux pour les directions car ils sont probablement perdus aussi. Comme au Royaume-Uni, nous conduisons sur le côté gauche de la route et toutes les limites de vitesse sont affichées en mph. La limite de vitesse maximale autorisée n’importe où est de 40 mph, avec un grand nombre de 30 mph et 20 mph zones. Dans les paroisses rurales, vous remarquerez peut-être également des panneaux indiquant les «voies vertes» où la limite de vitesse maximale est de 15 mph et le droit de passage est donné à ceux qui marchent, font du vélo ou montent à cheval.

Vous êtes également susceptible de rencontrer à son tour un phénomène de conduite locale appelé filtre. A l’approche de celui-ci, la priorité est donnée à la circulation sur votre droite. Une fois qu’ils ont fait leur mouvement, c’est à votre tour et la circulation sur votre gauche vous cédera la place. C’est un excellent moyen de maintenir la fluidité du trafic et une fois que vous le verrez en action, tout cela aura du sens. Le mini rond-point au bas de Beaumont Hill en est un excellent exemple. Pas de panique, tout ira bien !

Fahren

Sollten Sie sich verfahren, bedenken Sie, dass die meisten Einheimischen nicht wissen, wo sich die Straßen A6 oder B12 befinden, da alle unsere Straßen zusätzlich zu diesen Klassifizierungen ihre eigenen Namen tragen. Am besten zeigen Sie auf eine Karte oder sagen Sie einfach, wo Sie hinmöchten. Wenn Sie ein Auto mieten, werden Sie feststellen, dass das Nummernschild ein weißes „H“ auf rotem Grund trägt, welches es als Mietwagen kennzeichnet. Sie sollten sich also am besten nicht an Fahrer solcher Autos für Ihre Frage nach dem Weg richten, da sich diese wahrscheinlich selbst verfahren haben. Wie im Vereinigten Königreich fahren wir auf der linken Straßenseite und alle Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen sind in mph angegeben. Die maximal zulässige Geschwindigkeit beträgt 40 Meilen pro Stunde, in vielen Bereichen liegt die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung bei 30 oder 20 Meilen pro Stunde. In ländlichen Gemeinden finden Sie Schilder mit der Aufschrift „Green Lanes“. Hier beträgt die Höchstgeschwindigkeit 15 mph und Fußgänger, Radfahrer oder Reiter haben Vorrang. Sie werden wahrscheinlich auch auf eine lokale Besonderheit stoßen, das Straßenschild „Filter in Turn“. Kommen Sie an eine solche Kreuzung, hat zunächst ein von rechts kommendes Fahrzeug Vorrang. Danach sind Sie an der Reihe, gefolgt von einem Fahrzeug zu Ihrer Linken. Auf diese Weise wird der Verkehrsfluss am Laufen gehalten, und es ist weniger kompliziert, als es klingt. Der kleine Kreisverkehr am Fuße des Beaumont Hill ist ein Paradebeispiel. Keine Panik, Sie schaffen das!

Parking

On street parking requires the use of either a yellow disc or Paycard (available from convenience stores and hire car pick up points) to be displayed inside the car as signposted. PayByPhone parking is a cashless parking service that allows you to pay for parking using your mobile phone. It is available in all paying public car parks.

Search the Apple or Android app store for ‘PayByPhone’.

Parking

Le stationnement dans la rue nécessite l’utilisation d’un disque jaune ou d’une carte de paiement (disponible dans les dépanneurs et les points de prise en charge des voitures de location) à afficher à l’intérieur de la voiture comme indiqué. Le parking PayByPhone est un service de stationnement sans numéraire qui vous permet de payer votre stationnement avec votre téléphone portable. Il est disponible dans tous les parkings publics payants.

Recherchez « PayByPhone » dans la boutique d’applications Apple ou Android.

Parken

Für das Parken am Straßenrand wird eine gelbe Scheibe oder eine Paycard benötigt (erhältlich in Supermärkten, bei Autovermietungen und häufig an der Hotelrezeption), die sichtbar auf das Armaturenbrett gelegt werden müssen. PayByPhone ist bargeldloses Parken per Handy. Dieses System wird auf allen kostenpflichtigen öffentlichen Parkplätzen angeboten.

Suchen Sie im App Store von Apple oder Android nach „PayByPhone“.

Parking on yellow lines is prohibited at all times.

Multi-storey car parks also require Paycards with the exception of the Sand Street and underground Waterfront car parks which have ticket machines that accept both cash and cards as payment.

Le stationnement sur les lignes jaunes est interdit en tout temps. Les parkings à plusieurs étages nécessitent également des cartes de paiement, à l'exception des parkings de Sand Street et du front de mer souterrain, qui disposent de distributeurs de billets acceptant à la fois les espèces et les cartes comme moyen de paiement.

Das Parken auf gelben Linien ist zu jeder Zeit verboten. Für mehrstöckige Parkhäuser sind ebenfalls Paycards erforderlich, mit Ausnahme des Parkhauses Sand Street und der Waterfront Tiefgarage, die über Ticketautomaten verfügen, an denen sowohl Bargeld- als auch Kartenzahlung möglich sind.

Public Buses

Buses operate throughout the island to and from Liberation Station in St. Helier. Listed beaches, landmarks and attractions have the route number in their listing. All buses are low floor, so they are all fully accessible for wheelchair users, pushchairs, prams and some smaller mobility scooters (with a permit). Low-floor buses also help those who have other mobility requirements. All our buses have easy-access ramps and a dedicated wheelchair space.

Autobus

Des bus circulent dans toute l'île depuis et vers la gare de Libération à St Helier. Les plages, monuments et attractions répertoriés ont le numéro d'itinéraire dans leur liste. Tous les bus sont à plancher surbaissé, ils sont donc entièrement accessibles aux utilisateurs de fauteuils roulants, poussettes, landaus et certains scooters de mobilité plus petits (avec permis). Les bus à plancher surbaissé aident également ceux qui ont d'autres besoins de mobilité. Tous nos bus disposent de rampes d'accès faciles et d'un espace réservé aux fauteuils roulants.

Busse

Von der Liberation Station in St. Helier verkehren Busse zu allen Teilen der Insel. Für Strände, Sehenswürdigkeiten und Attraktionen findet man die Routennummer in einer entsprechenden Auflistung. Alle Busse sind niederflurig und daher für Rollstuhlfahrer, Kinderwagen, kleinere Mobilitätsroller (mit Genehmigung) und andere Mobilitätsanforderungen geeignet. Alle unsere Busse verfügen über Einstiegsrampen und spezielle Rollstuhlplätze.

Payment in cash used to be preferred, but all taxis are now required to accept cards. Private hire cabs are also available to hire if you’re not near a taxi rank. Evie electric cars can be unlocked and hired with the Evie app.

Il y a des stations de taxis à l’aéroport, au port et autour de St Helier. Des tarifs différents s’appliquent selon l’heure de la journée et le jour de la semaine.

Runs and more...

With such jaw dropping landscape right on our doorstep, it’s unsurprising that Jersey’s running calendar is overflowing with events that make the most of our epic outdoors. From family friendly races to your next big challenge, here’s a whole host of running events taking place on our island this spring through to summer:

5th March El Diablo Trail half marathon Entries £42

Starting at Les Platons, heading west to Bonne Nuit Bay, and climbing up, up, up, this is a quad bashing event that takes in the island’s most majestic northern landmarks including Mourier Valley and the route’s namesake, Devils Hole. A truly challenging romp across the headlands of north-west Jersey traversing cliff paths including descents into and out of bays such as Greve de Lecq and Plemont, this route isn’t for the faint hearted. Trail shoes are a must. The course finishes at L’Étacq thankfully with a nice downhill part where you’ll be welcomed with tea, cake and your well-earned ‘finishers’ medal. trailmonkeyjersey.com/the-nw-el-diablo-trail-half/

Run on the beach, wetsuits optional!

26th March Hospice 2 Hospice Half Marathon

£27.50 for individuals or £45.00 for the relay race

The 21.1km route which starts from the Hospice Fundraising shop in St. Ouen, initially takes runners out west of the island, towards Grosnez before heading back through St. Ouen passing the start line on Rue De La Croix at 6.5 miles (and the relay hand over point). The relatively flat route continues through St. Mary and St. John before turning onto Rue du Bel Vent where runners will begin their descent to the finish line in the beautifully scenic grounds of Jersey Hospice Care. This race is ideal for first time half marathon runners due to the flat course route - with only a short half mile incline at mile 11 with a final push up the drive into the car park. Entries are available for people over 17 years old and include an option for a two person relay. Online sales close on Saturday 25th March 2023 at 4pm but late registrations will be available at 7:45 am on the morning of the race, closing at 8:15am (Individual runners £27.50, Relay Teams £55) jerseyhospicecare.com

16th April True Grit Wetwheels Challenge

£46.80 for Solo obstacle entry, £133.95 for Team of 3, £15.55 for Youth Obstacle Race This is 4.3km of running but not as you know it. The route which takes place in and around Ronez Quarry consists of different obstacles that will make you crawl, carry, climb and jump your way to the finish! The physical but fun route involves tough terrain and challenging climbs, all whilst navigating around the gigantic Ronez machinery and equipment. Set in one of Jersey’s most remarkable environments, runners will start their race in a series of waves at the top of the quarry, then make their way 28 metres below sea level to the pit before starting the climb back out. This tough course is made well worth it by the panoramic views over to the North coast of Jersey at the finish. Runners should be prepared for a maximum distance of 5km with a total elevation of 130m. For 2023 a new category has been introduced called The Youth Challenge. This is a 2k obstacle route open to 11-15 year olds. Ticket sales will be raising funds for local charity Wetwheels Jersey. truegritchallenge.co.uk

6th May Double Top Ultra

Starting at St. Catherine’s Breakwater then onto Grosnez via the beautiful and dramatic coastal path, this 40 mile mega route requires either a marathon or trail marathon experience and a will of iron to complete. Taking in a little loop out to L’Étacq, the route doubles back on itself meaning you are returning along the same route to St. Catherine’s Breakwater that you took out there. One way is tough but there and back is monumental. This is a physical and mental challenge and those not able to complete the route in 12 hours are advised to not compete. For those still building up the miles but keen to give it a go - this year there is an option of a 20 mile route. trailmonkeyjersey.com/double-top-ultra/

14th May The Durrell Challenge

£31.20 for single 13k participant, £18.75 family race- adult, £13 family race- child

Whether you take it slow and steady like a tortoise or sprint round like a hare, there is something for everyone at this year’s Durrell Challenge which has been themed around the infamous fable ‘The Hare and the Tortoise.’ Choose from the 13km live race starting at Victoria Park and finishing at Jersey Zoo, or the 13k virtual race for those not able to attend in person. New for 2023 is a family-friendly 2.6km course which will start and finish at Jersey Zoo. Special prizes will be awarded for the highest fundraisers as well as the best-dressed runners so get your thinking caps on. All funds raised will go towards Durrell's work saving some of the rarest wildlife on the planet. durrell.org/events/the-durrell-challenge-2023/

5th August Round the Rock Marathon

Pedal-powered sightseeing

Jersey is a great place to get out on a bike.

Cycling is the perfect way to enjoy the best of Jersey’s countryside, especially at this time of year. 48 miles of daffodil-lined Green Lanes trail past lush green fields where the famous Jersey Cows graze with their calves and trees are bursting into life after the winter forming green leafy tunnels to cruise through.

There are a number of signposted cycle routes of varying lengths and difficulty that crisscross the island. The number 3 trail is a 14.5 mile (23k) route along the length of the island which passes through a few different country parishes. For a shorter route, follow the signposts for the number 4 route, a 5 mile (8km) trail that heads right into the centre of the island and the rural parish of St. John, passing Tesson Mill, The War Tunnels and National Trust property Morel Farm.

This time of year is excellent for foodies who can make the most of the road-side honesty boxes dotted all over the island. They offer the very best of local fresh spring produce and hand made treats. Make sure you look out for freshly dug Jersey Royal potatoes. Or pick a route that culminates at one of Jersey’s traditional country pubs and let someone else do the cooking, not forgetting to enjoy a creamy Jersey ice cream along the way!

Travelling to Jersey with the family for the Easter holidays? Jersey Bike Hire has various children’s bikes and helmets available, as well as trailers and tag along bikes. For any slightly wobbly budding cyclists, there are a number of safe cycle routes that are separate from the vehicle traffic. These include the leafy railway walk out to Corbiere lighthouse

Angela de Louche Owner, Jersey Bike Hire.

and the St. Aubin’s promenade, which conveniently passes Coronation Park where there are two children’s playgrounds and a splash park play area. Both these routes are easily accessed from our depot in St. Aubin.

I love exploring the new St. Peter’s Valley Route at the moment. Its track is set back under the trees and winds its way through the valley. It makes a nice change when cycling from town to be able to head inland but still be mostly away from the traffic. The kids love seeing the Manx Loaghtan sheep

and the different ducks in the valley, and a stop at the Victoria in the Valley for a well deserved drink keeps the whole family happy.

BEACHLIFE

No matter how you spend your time on Jersey, you’ll no doubt want to feel either the sand between your toes or breathe in the fresh sea air as you explore our beaches and coves. They each have their own unique personality. Choose the one that’s right for you...

Anne Port NE

A quiet and rarely crowded east-facing stretch of sand that catches the morning and midday sun. 2

Bouley Bay N

A winding hill leads down to this steep pebble beach with deep water for competent swimmers. The bay is home to one of Jersey’s scuba-diving schools. 4

Archirondel NE

This popular beach with an excellent beach cafe is pebbly at first but sandy at low tide when the water stays shallow for some way out. East-facing, Archirondel loses the sun in the late afternoon. 2

Green Island SE

A locals’ favourite, this sheltered south-facing beach is a real sun trap where soft sand, rock climbing and rock pool adventures await. The tide goes out a long way, so take care with the swift incoming tide and pick times close to high water to enjoy swimming or paddling. 1

Grève de Lecq NW

The most popular of the north coast beaches, Grève de Lecq’s sheltered sands and rockpools are ideal for families but lose the sun in late afternoon. Don’t miss the excellent cafes and local pubs close by. 9

A real suntrap on the south coast, once you’ve trekked down the steep path from the car park and crossed the pebbles, you’ll reach a sheltered south-facing beach with golden sand and shallow turquoise water, ideal for swimming. 12a

Grouville Bay / La Rocque Harbour SE

A long stretch of sand that leads to Gorey harbour, with Mont Orgueil Castle as a backdrop. Plenty of parking, beach cafes and kiosks as well as a childrens’ beachside playground and soft sand make Long Beach a local favourite. 1a, 2

Beauport SW

Bonne Nuit N

A tiny fishing harbour with space to play on the sand, picnic or catch some sun, but not ideal for swimming. Worth visiting for the excellent beach cafe. 4

Ouaisné Bay SW

This south west facing beach is the wilder contrast to the adjoining St. Brelade’s Bay. The beaches are connected at low tide, or cross the pine-rich headland and walk along the sea wall next to the protected Ouaisné Common towards locals’ favourite, The Smugglers Inn. 12a

Rozel Bay NE

A small fishing village lined with beach huts and harbourside cottages, Rozel is more of a fishing harbour than a place to swim. But at low tide, Rozel’s small stretch of white sand is safe for children to play on, just look out for the Rozel geese! 3

Havre des Pas S

Close to the centre of St. Helier, this sandy beach is worth a visit to see the architecture of the art deco pool, filled by the tide each day. The beach is easy to access, and safe for swimmers. 1

St. Aubin’s Bay SW

A crescent of south-facing sand from St. Helier to St. Aubin, the beach is in full sun for most of the day. With several beach cafes along the promenade front, look out for the softest sand around the Gunsite Café with jet ski hire close by. 12a, 15

Plémont NW

A pristine sandy cove reachable by a long flight of steps, where the intrepid are rewarded with a stunning natural playground of rock pools, sea caves and an excellent beach café perched on the cliffs. There’s safe swimming when the sea is calm, and surfing when it’s wilder, and the beach is completely covered at high tide.

St. Brelade’s Bay SW

The beautiful beach at St. Brelade’s Bay is one of the island’s busiest; a visitor favourite for its soft sand, safe swimming, beach activities and seaside eating. Voted as number three in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards, this stunning south-facing beach is in the sun for most of the day. 12a

Portelet Bay SW

Climb down the long flight of steps and you’ll be rewarded with a sunny, sheltered and sandy beach circling Janvrin’s Tomb at the centre. Portelet Bay Beach Café serves excellent pizza throughout the season, and the pub at the top of the steps, the Old Portelet Inn is a family favourite. 12a

St. Ouen’s Bay W

A magnificent beach and natural playground for surfers. It’s where one of the oldest surfing clubs in Europe has its home and makes a stunning setting for beach walks. Swimmers should take care in the strong currents and stick to the flagged zones. Patrolled by RNLI in high season. 22

ARTS AND CRAFTS

Look out for the Genuine Jersey Mark for authentic island produce.

La Mare Black Butter

Maison de Jersey £6.45

Like everything from La Mare this is made in their in-house kitchen. Despite the name Black Butter is actually a rich and spicy apple preserve that goes back hundreds of years. The island used to be full of apple orchards and cider was made by farmers to give to staff as part of their wages! People would then make Black Butter by boiling the cider over an open fire for up to two days and would then add apples, sugar, lemon, spices and a hint of liquorice while continuously stirring with a wooden ‘rabot’ or paddle. Use it on sweet or savoury dishes.

Jersey Sea Salt

Various outlets £6.50

You can’t get much more Jersey than salt made from the sea water which surrounds the island. Made using traditional methods in their bespoke salt houses, they solar evaporate large quantities of sea water to make this excellent cooks ingredient. It comes in a variety of blends including lemon, pepper dulse and our favourite, chilli (perfect for the glass of a margarita!).

Fache - Face Cleansing Bar

Jersey Skin £8

Jersey Skin offers a selection of moisturisers, lip balms, pillow mists, intense hand creams and much more, all containing ingredients grown on the island. You can buy Jersey Skin products directly from their shop on The Parade, St Helier or at various outlets around the island, including Jersey Airport.

Our foodie isle.

Words | Sara Felton

On an island that is only nine miles by five, it always astounds me just how many incredible dining options we have, whatever the time of day. Here are just a handful of places to see you through breakfast, lunch and dinner during your visit this season.

BREAKFAST

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day but also my favourite. Which means that I feel pretty confident I know of some of the best spots for breakfast, or brunching, on our little isle. Starting in St. Helier, there’s been quite the explosion of excellent brunch spots of late, Locke’s being just one of them. Here you’ll find excellent coffee and a small but mighty menu with dishes inspired by, and changing with, the seasons. They’re also quite the purveyor of excellently titled dishes too, Avo Good Day and the Notorious BLT being just two of their permanent fixtures.

Dandy have not one but two locations serving AllPress coffee and delectable food. Their chef bakes a plethora of tasty treats every day, including his own sourdough which you can have topped with almost

anything. Be sure to grab a slab of their banana bread (toasted and buttered!) or a brownie and if you head to their Colomberie location on a Saturday ask for the Dirty Eggs, you won’t be disappointed! The only downside to the townie locations is they don’t open on Sundays, but this gives you the perfect excuse to hunt for a table with a view. Why not head over to Grève de Lecq, here you’ll find a multitude of places where you can enjoy food for most of the day, but my favourite has to be Colleen’s Café for their full English, delightful. It wouldn’t be a trip to the island without a visit to the Hungry Man in Rozel Bay, this brightly coloured beach hut is the perfect spot for an al fresco bacon butty or if you’re brave try the Double Decker Healthwrecker.

LUNCH

If you’re heading to St. Ouen’s Bay then a drive along the Five Mile Road offers up three options; Le Braye, El Tico or Sands all have excellent views of the bay and great menus full of foodie delights. They serve food throughout the day too so why stop at just lunch! Nude Food Beach has an excellent menu of wholesome food and fantastic views of St. Aubin’s Bay, open for breakfast and lunch daily and dinner too Wednesday - Saturday. One more westie must-visit is Off the Rails on the cycle track to La Corbière, serving Wednesday to Sunday with an excellent tapas and pizza menu with a strong wine list.

Eating at the beach is essential!

If you’re looking for an afternoon of eating and entertainment, look out for many excellent afternoon tea options. Tides Restaurant, at the Somerville Hotel in St Aubin offer a fantastic (afternoon) tea with a view.

DINNER

Your choices for dinner are almost endless. Head out east to Gorey where amongst the countless dining options you’ll find Sumas and their all-weather balcony which offers you sweeping vistas of the castle and superb food. St. Aubin has an abundance of restaurants too, many of them along the Bulwarks overlooking the boats in the harbour. The Anchor Club offers up slightly more formal dining and the Seafish Café, where you can enjoy excellent fish and chips right beside the water.

St. Helier is home to several fantastic fine dining restaurants. Try Samphire, where you’ll find a menu full of island influences and the best Côte de Beouf you’re likely to try, ever (in my opinion). Or head to Bohemia where I dare you to choose their six-course Michelin-starred surprise dinner menu, which changes daily and is available Monday to Thursday, it promises to tantalise your taste buds and delight your senses. Coming soon is the new ‘Pêtchi, from the team behind the brilliant Number 10. The restaurant’s chef was a finalist on The Great British Menu. All three of these town-based restaurants also have excellent bars should you wish to have an aperitif before you dine.

Our unique European flavour

Jersey’s community has been strengthened by the diversity of people that have moved to Jersey to work and settled long-term. It’s not unusual to get a cab from the airport driven by a Scot or Mancunian who came in the 80’s and never made it back to the North, but once you’re wandering the streets of St. Helier you’ll notice other flavours of influence.

You will you witness Portuguese flags in many areas and it’s not unusual in certain areas

to chance upon a café or restaurant where Portuguese is the predominant language in the air. The Jersey Portuguese community has developed over three generations on-island and continues to bring a unique atmosphere to certain corners of the island.

If you’re planning on experiencing ‘local’ Jersey culture, you should definitely include a trip to a Portuguese café or restaurant for a Pastel de Nata or Espetada. Here are some to consider checking out.

The RAMP area.

If you wander the Roads Around Minden Place, you’ll find several venues that offer our Jersey Portugeuse flavour. Get yourself some bacalau, espetadas, milho and soak up the atmosphere.

De Porto

Up the steps in the corner of Minden Street is a characterful and hospitable restaurant with great espetadas and friendly staff. One of our favourites.

Royal Square

Minden Street MINDEN PLACE

Shake up your nights.

Whether you’re looking for a big night out or a quick last order, St. Helier serves up a great selection of nighttime haunts; from Blind Pigs to Porters’ Stores, Jersey have something for all.

The Weighbridge is a good place to start. The dominant Royal Yacht Hotel has a variety of different drinking options available, whether it be outside sipping wine in their large al fresco area, squirrelled away in the Cabin bar (the last remaining part of the original historic building) or dancing the night away in their ‘Drift’ bar, there is something for everyone. Just over the road, The Square offers excellent food options and you can also drink there until 01:00. Across the cobbles of the Weighbridge, Ce Soir offers cocktails, table service and an in-house DJ with a more club-style atmosphere and upstairs gin bar. In the summer their alfresco area is good for people watching. Just up the road from the Weighbridge square on Hill Street is the expansive Chambers, which offers live music; a fusion of pub culture and bar atmosphere.

The Porter’s Store

If you fancy your nightlife a little more intimate. Tucked away behind Chambers is The Blind Pig, hidden down a back alley just around the corner (you can also get there through a little hidden door at the back of Chambers itself). One of our original speak-easy bars, it specialises in cocktails in a small but beautifully appointed room. Just a few turns away on Wharf Street, this year sees the addition of The Porter’s Store, which channels a 70s Americana vibe into its cocktail den.

Just one more right turn, on Broad Street, you’ll find Vinifera, worth investigating for an early evening glass of wine from one of the island’s most experienced owner-sommeliers. They also offer a private table in the basement, bookable for groups to take wine with delicious food.

If it’s wine time, you should carry on across town where you’ll find the newly opened The Watchmaker, a chic ‘wine, Champagne and charcutie’ bar. A stone’s throw away down a cobbled backalley is the clandestine Project 52, Once you’ve found the location you need to look for the buzzer and ring for entry. Open 17:00 - 23:00 from Wednesday to Saturday you can expect excellently blended cocktails, craft beers and a superb selection of gins and a nifty wine list too for a cosy affair of an evening.

If you’re looking for some pre-dinner drinks, the roof terrace at The Don is a sophisticated beauty above one of Jersey’s quality restaurants, Samphire. The roof garden provides the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, where guests can sit and enjoy a drink when the weather is fine and enjoy wine by the glass, or one of their excellent seasonally changing cocktails. If you like the vibe of a premium hotel bar then don’t miss the cool calm of the Bohemia Bar and Roof Terrace at The Club Hotel and Spa on Green Street. The timeless elegance of the bar is matched by a cool calm, great drinks and the chance to be on-hand for dinner at our fabulous Michelin-starred restaurant.

Seyiz les beinv’nus à Jèrri (That’s

Jèrriais for ‘Welcome to Jersey’)

A little more local knowledge...

History

The earliest evidence of human activity in Jersey dates to about 250,000 years ago and it was only 6,000 years ago that Jersey was part of mainland Europe before rising tides cut us off and made us an island.

During the American Wars of Independence, two attempted invasions of the island were made. In 1779, the Prince of Orange William V was prevented from landing at St. Ouen’s Bay and on 06 January 1781 a force led by Baron de Rullecourt captured St. Helier in a daring dawn raid, but was defeated by a British

army led by Major Francis Peirson in the Battle of Jersey. Jersey was the fourth-largest ship building area in the 19th-century British Isles, building over 900 vessels around the island.

Jersey was occupied by Nazi German troops between 1940 and 1945, with the Channel Islands being the only British soil occupied during World War II. This period of occupation saw about 8,000 islanders evacuated, 1,200 islanders deported to camps in Germany, and over 300 islanders sentenced to the prisons and concentration camps of mainland Europe. Many islanders remained and

the island was liberated by British troops on 09 May 1945, now celebrated as a public holiday locally.

People

Mostly a mix of Norman French and British settlers, Jersey’s community has also been enriched by the influences of the number of Europeans who also call Jersey their home. If you hear anybody referring to a Crapaud (French for toad) or a Jersey Bean they’ll be talking about one of the natives.

Language

The native language, which you’ll see displayed in a few locations around the island such as the airport and harbour is called Jèrriais but you’ll probably not hear it spoken unless you find yourself in the deepest, darkest of rural parishes such as St. Ouen, where 8% of parishioners speak it according to the results of a 2012 survey. English is the most widely spoken language.

Jersey and its neighbours

Jersey has an interesting relationship with both the UK and Europe in that it’s a Crown Dependency, meaning that despite having our own independent government, locals answer to the King and the British military support our interests should the need arise. Despite being part of the British Isles, Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom. We’re also not part of the European Union but are a member of the EEC. Confused? You’ll fit right in!

Honorary Police

In addition to the States of Jersey Police force, who serve islandwide, each of Jersey’s twelve parishes has its own police service that only have jurisdiction within the boundaries of their own

parish, also known as the Honorary Police, who are headquartered at each of the parish halls.

Economy

The local economy thrives from a combination of offshore finance, tourism, digital and agriculture. Bathe at our beaches, enjoy our local attractions, dine on our fresh produce including world famous potatoes and dairy products from the herds of local Jersey cows.

Tides

Jersey’s tidal range is one of the largest in the world with a range of around 12 metres. We’ve also got some of the cleanest water in the British Isles, which is a winning combination when it comes to keeping our beaches great. It’s worth noting that because of the huge tidal range that the sea level does rise quickly and it’s easy to get caught out. Be mindful that if you stray too far from the shore there could be a risk of tides cutting you off and leaving you stranded. Pay close attention to the signs and know the dangers.

Safe Swimming

The RNLI have lifeguards stationed at popular bays who provide cover between the red and yelow flags. For more information: www.rnlijersey.org.je

This is Grosnez Castle in St. Ouen, but you can call it ‘grow-nay castle’ (oh, and it’s in ‘saint one’)

Decoding the dialect

A local advises...

Whilst English is the most widely spoken language here in Jersey, if you find yourself interacting with some of the purest of locals you might notice a distinctive intonation that’s likely a remnant of our Norman roots despite sounding closer to a South African twang.

They’re hard to find these days but they’re definitely out there, mostly hidden away in the rural parishes. I should know, I’m descended from them and occasionally find myself pronouncing an ‘arn’ sound as ‘on’ in a way that’d likely disgust the King. The example sentence above sums this up

Where

relatively succinctly. If you find yourself talking to somebody who pronounces words like this there’s a good chance they’ll be able to give you reliable directions. Just make sure you’re pronouncing the place names properly. To give you a head start we’ve listed a few on the page to the right.
