Jersey is an island and the sea is never far away.
Clear water and beaches surround some 45 miles of coastline –
Jersey’s greatest natural treasure – and a comprehensive
network of footpaths enables the visitor to walk the majority
of the islands perimeter.
The wide sandy bays in the south are perfect for
water sports such as canoeing, wake boarding, water skiing, jet
skiing and windsurfing, whilst the rocky bays in the north have
superb sheltered diving sites and excellent fishing. The water
off the south-eastern coast is relatively calm and shallow, so
good for the less experienced swimmer and also for children, whilst
the west coast, with waves that haven’t touched land for
3,000 miles is a haven for surfers! Dramatic cliffs in the north
offer spectacular scenery and stunning vistas.
