Best time to visit

Beautiful Jersey – the largest of the Channel Islands – has something to offer all year round. Come in July or August to make the most of the gorgeous beaches. This is when the temperatures are warmest and the sea is suitable for swimming in. Or visit in the cooler spring months to tackle the clifftop walking trails and appreciate the blooming wildflowers.

Avoid the crowds

It might not be warm enough to relax on the beach, but visit the isle of Jersey in September or October and the prices are lower, the crowds have died down and you’ll have a better choice when it comes to accommodation. These are perfect months for walkers to explore the sprawling countryside, and for culture buffs to check out the island’s historical sights.
