Jersey destination guide
The Bailiwick of Jersey lies off the coast of northern France. One of the Channel Islands, the other main islands being Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm, it is an independently governed region. Although the islands have strong ties to the UK, they are not part of the UK, nor the European Union. It has a population of around 90,000 people. With the highest level of sunshine in the British Isles, it is extremely popular for holidays.
One of the main advantages to visiting Jersey is the lack of VAT on goods bought there, and the ability to purchase duty free goods whilst travelling to and from the islands. But remember, there are limits to the amount that you may bring back to the UK.
The only town on the island is St Helier. Around a third of the island's inhabitants live there. This is the main tourist destination on the island. The majority of hotels on the island are found in St Helier, and with great shopping, restaurants and bars you can see why the tourism flourishes here.
Eating out in Jersey is very easy. There are a great number of restaurants serving local dishes. As you might imagine, seafood is a great speciality on the island. Dairy produce plays a large part in the cuisine of the island, with Jersey milk, cream and butter being a mainstay of the local farms.
Jersey is full of tourist attractions. The Durrell Wildlife park, named after the well known naturalist and author Gerald Durrell, is a world renowned conservation center. The park concentrates on rare and endangered species and does much work to ensure that these animals will continue to survive into the future.
The sea offers ample opportunity to enjoy yourself, with many local schools offering tuition in sailing, surfing and other watersports. 
Fishing is another pastime that can be enjoyed. There is even a fish farm that makes use of an underground gun emplacement from the second world war.
Being the only part of the British Isles to come under German control during the second world war, there are many places to see and visit.
These include the underground tunnels that even had a hospital built in them, the Jersey military museum, and the restored fortifications that are overseen by the Channel Islands Occupation Society.
The famous Battle of the Flowers, held in August every year, is another must see event. With a parade of floats highly decorated with flowers it is a popular event with tourists and locals alike.
For such a small island, Jersey really has much to offer. Why not find out for yourself?
