Travelling to Jersey
Located some 100 miles (160 kms) south of mainland Britain, Jersey is the most southerly island of the British Isles. In fact, it’s much closer to France, lying just 14 miles (22 kms) from its coast.
The hottest pride in the British Isles
With a total of 2,298 hours of sunshine measured at the weather station at Fort Regent (in the capital, St Helier), Jersey enjoyed more than 200 hours of sun ahead of the sunniest places in the UK last year. The hottest days are normally found in July and August, when temperatures can reach high up to 36°C.
And with 43.5 miles of coastline around the stunning island of Jersey, there is always a beach that will be a perfect fit for the activities you have in mind. So bring your swimwear!
