About Jersey

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, a self-governing British Crown Dependency lying in the English Channel between England and France. Its compact size, mild maritime climate, sandy beaches and relaxed pace make it an easy destination for short breaks, coastal holidays and business travel.

St Helier, the capital, is the island's main hub, centred on its marina, shopping streets and waterfront restaurants. Smaller harbour settlements such as St Aubin and Gorey add historic charm, while St Brelade's Bay is among the island's best-known beaches.

The coastline is the island's defining feature, with cliff paths, sheltered coves and sweeping bays connected by a well-maintained network of walking routes. Historic landmarks include Mont Orgueil Castle, Elizabeth Castle and the Jersey War Tunnels, while prehistoric sites such as La Hougue Bie reflect the island's long settlement history.

Jersey also has a strong financial services sector and a steady flow of business and leisure visitors, with seasonal events, seafood, Jersey Royal potatoes and local produce shaping much of the island's culture and food scene.

Jersey Airport and St Helier's ferry terminal provide direct links to the UK and France. On the island, a network of roads and public bus routes connects the airport, harbour, hotels, business areas and coastal destinations, making it straightforward to move between the island's main points of interest.
