Places to See

Beaches
Jersey is the largest and most southerly of the UK Channel Islands with over 50 miles of coastline.

There are 12 major beaches and many other smaller bays which are some of the cleanest in Europe.

Most of the beaches are white sand, apart from a few on the north coast where the weathered dust of granite, granulated from the rocks by centuries of tides creates a rich darkness. Small fishing harbours are rich in heritage, and west coast beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean are ideal for surfing and windsurfing. In 2005, eleven beaches were granted the Marine Conservation Society's highest award for water cleanliness.

France

Don't forget to bring your passport with you as there are several tour and ferry operators who run day trips to Brittany and Normandy. Explore the medieval towns of Dinan, St Malo, Granville or the historic Mont St. Michel, all of them just a short ferry trip away.
