1. Oysters - one of Jersey's “big 4”.

Jersey has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world, with MSC-accredited, clean and nutrient-rich waters creating the perfect environment to harvest oysters. The Royal Bay of Grouville is host to Jersey’s Oyster farms so you can be whisked to the bay to wander around the beds before sampling a Jersey oyster or two with Jersey Walk Adventures or Seymour Oyster. A glass of bubbly is the oyster’s perfect partner.

Suma’s restaurant is close by and lunch on the terrace, with fabulous views of Mont Orgueil Castle and the harbour, is a good way to continue your sampling of local produce. Did we mention that Jersey Lobster is another of our “Big 4” local delicacies? A lobster lunch with a view of the castle is a pretty special lunchtime treat.

The “Keeper for a Day” experience at Jersey Zoo involves working with the keepers to prepare and even hand-feed some of the animals and will allow you to get up close to see the animals in all their awe-inspiring beauty. The zoo is home to Gorillas, Orangutans, Meerkats and Andean Bears, amongst so many others and the sights and sounds you will experience whilst working with the animals will create memories that will last a lifetime.

Rise with the sun.

1. Sunrise

Sunrise is magical at the best of times, we promise this one is extra special. Wake up early and jump in your car or ask your chauffeur to drive you to your sunrise spot at Archirondel. The shingle beach leads on to soft golden sands, the perfect place to watch the sunrise. There is a reason this is one of the most photographed spots on the island with the distinctive red and white striped Martello tower helping to guide boats safely to the area. This iconic tower is actually a Jersey heritage property, available to rent. Choose to stay there and enjoy that sunrise every, single day.

The early bird catches the limo, so once the sun has risen, take a trip around the stunning coastline and head along the 5 mile beach to St. Ouen for a spot of breakfast on the beach before a private surf lesson.

2. Private surf lesson

Surf is always up in Jersey! Europe’s oldest surf club is located on the island and we have waves for days. Breakfast at the local beach restaurant El Tico Beach Cantina never disappoints. Situated directly next door to where you will rent your surf-board, grab a table outside and watch the waves roll in while you fuel up for your surf experience.

For those already accustomed to the surf, book a board and take to the waves. If you are new to the world of surfing, book a private beginners lesson at one of the many surf providers in St. Ouen’s Bay. Perfect for thrill-seekers and for those who want to try something new; let your experienced and patient instructor teach you the moves. Jersey also hosts Little Joe’s Surf School, where the focus is on children learning about their environment, sea and beach safety and the importance of being outdoors. If they can do it; you can.

Contemporary European dishes, abundant with local produce, feature on the tasting menus by Head Chef Callum Graham. Callum retained Bohemia’s Michelin Star for their 17th consecutive year – in his first year in the position. The Chef’s Table is a really special, luxury gastro experience.

Jersey's best kept secret.

Overview.

Spend your last day at one of the UK’s top rated beaches, St Brelade’s Bay. Here you can enjoy a personally delivered crab picnic, bathe in the sun or the fresh Jersey waters, and even hire your own paddleboard or kayak for an adventure around the bay. Top off your island break with a night time, guided walk along La Rocque beach where the magic of Jersey’s bioluminescence will capture your imagination.

Stops: Three.

Transport: Driving | Walking.


Stops: 1 2 3

1. A day on the beach.

St. Brelade’s Bay is arguably one of the most picturesque beaches on the island. Ask the Fresh Fish Company to make you a picnic choc-full of seafood to take with you and they will deliver it to where you are staying in the morning. You’ll find two beach outlets hiring gear, Jono’s Watersports and Absolute Adventures on your arrival to the bay. Get your beach set up sorted with Jono’s or Sunnyside Deckchairs. Their teams will carry your sun bed to your chosen spot and hammer your parasol into the sand so you are set up for the day and your Jersey crab picnic is kept in the shade. Jersey bays feature clear and clean, MSC accredited waters so if you fancy working up an appetite before your picnic, you can hire a kayak or paddleboard for a view of the bay from the water.
