When you visit the island, it is quite likely that you will stay in St Helier, the largest town on Jersey and centre for many of the attractions you are likely to visit. There are plenty of shops in St Helier which cater to locals and tourists alike. You’ll also find a wide range of restaurants and bars where you can spend a pleasant time eating and drinking as well as enjoying the relative tranquility of the island.

St Helier is also home to the Fort Regent leisure centre, which features all the latest health and fitness equipment so that you can work off any large lunches that tempted you! Fort Regent also hosts the majority of the concerts and other events that are staged on the island, so be sure to check out its schedule at the time of your visit. There are plenty of beaches on the island, so if all you want to do is relax and soak up the sun then you will be spoilt for choice. The island’s climate is mild and summers are normally the sunniest that you will find anywhere in the British Isles. Jersey was taken by the Germans during World War Two. History fans should look at the Channel Islands Military Museum, housed in what used to be a German bunker that formed part of the “Atlantic Wall”. There are hundreds of artifacts that document the course of the occupation of Germany and you can even see an Enigma machine on your visit. Or you could just mess around on the ocean in one of the RIB (rigid inflatable boat) trips that will allow you to bounce over the waves whilst you admire the dolphins, puffins, seals and a myriad of seabirds.
