All about...
Jersey,
Jersey may be just 45 square miles in size, but few places on Earth pack so much variety into such a small area: long sandy beaches, rocky beaches, cliff paths, country lanes, woodland walks, cycle paths, tiny fishing harbours, unique historical monuments, sophisticated shopping, numerous pubs, hotels, spas and camp sites, some of the best restaurants in Britain, dozens of tourist attractions, superb gardens, and banks, lawyers and investment companies galore. It’s a busy, wealthy and cosmopolitan island, yet you can find beaches, countryside and coastal areas where you see hardly anyone at all.

Market
Best atmosphere:
Central Market
The best place to soak up the not quite English/not quite French atmosphere of Jersey is the attractive Victorian Central Market in St Helier, with its cast iron features and huge fountain. Opened in 1882, it’s where the locals gather to have a chat while shopping for superbly fresh fish, meat and vegetables. Browse for clothes, flowers, secondhand books, antiques and a range of other goods, and you might hear the local Norman French patois, which is still spoken by some of the older country families.
Where: Central Market, Halkett Place, St Helier, Tel: +44 (0)1534 448180. The market is open from 7.30am to 5.30pm every day from Monday to Saturday, except Thursday when it closes at 2pm.

Spa
Best place for pampering:
Ayush Wellness Spa
The 17,000 sq ft Ayush Wellness Spa at the Hotel de France, just outside St Helier, is the best spa amongst an increasing number in Jersey. Not just a place for an oil massage or a steam treatment, it’s more a large, natural space where you can follow the principles of Ayurvedic or the Science of Life. Considered by OK! magazine to be one of Europe’s best hotel spas, it offers full and half-day packages, with treatments including the “Padaghata” – where the entire body is massaged using only the feet!
Where: Ayush Wellness Spa, Hotel de France, St Saviour’s Road,
St Helier, Tel: +44 (0)1534 614000.

Beach
Best secret beach:
La Coupe
While the crowds head for the large, busy beaches of St Brelade and St Ouen, one of the best beaches is a tiny cove right in the north-east extreme of the Island, called La Coupe. Owned by The National Trust for Jersey, access to this beautiful cove is via a country lane winding through unspoilt countryside: once you get there you’ll enjoy a small, quiet sandy beach with great swimming.
Where: La Coupe, on Jersey’s east coast.

Adventure
Best adrenalin rush:
Coasteering
The most exciting way to explore Jersey’s coast is to work your way around it by clamouring over rocks, hurling yourself into the sea to get to the next headland and then crawling your way to the top in order to do it all again. Coasteering, as it’s called, requires a certain fitness and a taste for adventure, but the challenges and excitement inherent in the experience – not to mention the scenery enjoyed along the way – make it all worth it! Take the plunge with Pure Jersey or Adventures Unlimited.
