6 Great Ways of Getting Around Jersey

Despite Jersey’s compact size of nine miles by five, there is a large road network of around 550 miles meaning getting from one end of the island to the other can be achieved in no time.  There is a variety of different ways of getting around Jersey, from a hire car or bringing your own to enjoy these roads, to a gentle walk along cliff tops and coast or cycle ride along the island’s ‘green lanes’ or the comprehensive bus service.  We have listed out all the most popular ways to get around Jersey:

Quick Links

Jersey Bus Service – Getting Around Jersey

The parish of St Helier is the centre of the island-wide bus services, which cover all the major Jersey tourist attractions .  If you’re planning a Jersey city break, a bus is the only mode of Jersey transport you’ll need to use.  The buses in Jersey start and finish from the new Liberation bus station in St Helier and provide a comprehensive network of routes around the Island.

Linking many rural communities, sights and attractions which are located in sparsely populated corners of the island, these can easily be accessed and enjoyed thanks to the bus service.  ‘Explorer tickets’ offer unlimited travel on buses, representing good value for money, and run to the majority of the Islands key attractions.

See the table below for the Jersey Multi-Journey Bus Pass:

More information about Jersey bus tickets, bus routes and bus timetables for LibertyBus can be found at www.libertybus.je .

AvanchiCard

The LibertyBus AvanchiCards make travelling around Jersey by bus even easier. The LibertyBus AvanchiCard can be purchased from Liberation Station, topped up online as needed and then scanned when entering a LibertyBus for speedy boarding.

There are two types of AvanchiCards – AvanchiCard PAYG and AvanchiCard Unlimited.

AvanchiCard PAYG

The AvanchiCard PAYG is the most cost-effective way to get around Jersey with every journey charged at £1.85.

When purchasing an AvanchiCard PAYG from Liberation Station it needs to be loaded with £5 credit and can then be topped up online as required.

AvanchiCard Unlimited

The AvanchiCard Unlimited pass comes in two variations – monthly or annual. This pass allows unlimited travel for the duration of the pass.

AvanchiCard Student

The best option for all Children and students is the AvanchiCard Student pass. All Children aged between 5-15 years and all students in full-time education pay just 95p per journey with the AvanchiCard Student pass.

You need to go to Liberation Station and complete a form in order to obtain a AvanchiCard Student pass. If you are under 16, then an email address will be required. If you are over 16 and in full-time education, then photo ID and proof of full-time education will be required.

Jersey Bus Tips

Jersey taxis – getting around jersey.

Take the stress and planning out of your trip by using one of the reliable local taxi services available on the island. Please be aware that different rates apply to both public rank taxis and privately booked cabs depending on the time and day, and public holidays.

Jersey Rank Taxis

Rank taxis can be recognised by their yellow roof signs, and are generally cheaper than private hire cabs. All rank taxis charge the same tariff via their meters, which is higher at night and on public holidays. They will also charge extra for waiting and for luggage not carried in the passenger compartment.

Taxi ranks can be found outside the Arrivals Hall at Jersey Airport, and at the Albert and Elizabeth Harbours. When the airport is busy, there can be a queue. There may not be taxis at the harbour terminals unless a boat is due in.

In St Helier, there are ranks in Library Place, Snow Hill, and at the Weighbridge (bus station). Queues can be very long after the nightclubs close.

It is illegal for a child under the age of three to ride in a taxi unless there is a proper child seat. Some of the newer taxis have a built-in child seat which folds down from the rear seat.

A few of the rank taxis are the black cab type and may carry wheelchair ramps.

Private Hire Cabs

Private Hire cabs need to be booked in advance from one of several taxi companies (see below for the biggest cab companies on the island). You can recognise them by the white roof sign, usually with the company name and the word ‘restricted’.

If you plan to travel at peak times such as the morning or evening rush hour, during the evening when many people are on the way out for the evening, or after the pubs or nightclubs close, you will need to book your cab well in advance. Cab companies will sometimes refuse to take bookings late on Friday or Saturday nights unless you have made the outward journey with them as they give priority to customers booking return trips.

Some of the bigger cab companies have child seats, but if you need one you must book in advance so that the company can make sure they put one in the car.

How Much is a Taxi from Jersey Airport to St Helier?

If you pick up a taxi from the taxi rank outside Jersey Airport then the rough price into the centre of St Helier should be no more than £15 – 20. You may pay slightly more between 23:00 – 07:00 and on Sundays and public holidays.

Driving in Jersey / Jersey Car Hire – Getting Around Jersey

Green Lanes

At the end of 2006 there were 104,537 cars registered in Jersey, and coupled with the small narrow lanes and low speed limit can make driving around a slow process.  However driving in Jersey gives added flexibility and is a convenient way of exploring the many tourist attractions in Jersey.

With many hire cars available and cheap fuel, driving makes sense on the tourist attractions that are further away.  Driving in Jersey takes place on the left-hand side of the road, the same as in the UK, but there are a few differences.

Traffic lights in Jersey change from Red to Green with no amber in between, a yellow line across a road means the exit of a minor road and you must give way, and a ‘filter in turn’ sign means take your turn with other vehicles in joining or crossing any stream of traffic.  The maximum speed limit in Jersey is 40mph, and you should avoid using the Green Lanes roads with their 15mph speed limit.

Drinking and Driving

Drink driving is taken very seriously in Jersey, with penalties of up £2,000 in fines, 6 months in prison and unlimited disqualification for a first offence.

The legal limit for driving in Jersey is 80mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. It is also an offence in Jersey to drive under the influence of drugs.

Drink driving checks are carried out throughout the year. These usually take the form of roadside checks carried out by the Jersey Police force. If you are going out for the evening and plan to drink, better to book a taxi.

Parking in Jersey

Parking in Jersey can sometimes be difficult and you don’t want to spoil your holiday with a fine.

Jersey has one of the highest ratios of cars to people in the world. Parking isn’t as expensive as many cities, averaging around 50p an hour, but fines are high and easy to get.

While most of the big tourist attractions and events have large car parks, St Helier, and many popular bays, have limited spaces. Some favourite spots, such as Green Island, will never be too crowded because there is so little parking.

If you are going to spend the day at a beach, consider getting there by bus instead. There is a Jersey bus service to most of the popular beaches and some of the smaller ones during the summer months.

You might have particular difficulty parking at Green Island, Plemont, Grève de Lecq , Rozel, Bouley Bay or Bonne Nuit unless you arrive early. Parking at St Aubin can be difficult, but there is parking along the road towards La Haule slip if you don’t mind a short walk.

Parking near Le Braye slip at St Ouen’s gets very crowded on hot days, as does St Brelade . All of these bays and beaches have reasonable or good bus services.

Parking in Jersey can be at its worst in St Helier on a Saturday.

Road Markings

Unlike the majority of the UK, a single yellow line along the edge of the road means no parking at any time. You are allowed to briefly stop and let someone get in or out of the car, and you can stop to load or unload something heavy, but park on a yellow line and you are at risk of getting a ticket.

There are a quite a few places where it is difficult to access a business relying on passing trade without parking on a yellow line. Due to the friendly village feel of Jersey, the traffic wardens will usually pop inside and ask before giving a ticket. If you want to pop in somewhere and it looks as if you could stop on the yellow line for a short while without causing disruption to the traffic flow or blocking emergency access, it is worth getting someone to run in and ask he shopkeeper how parking outside is dealt with.

Paycard Parking in Jersey

On-street parking in Jersey is paid for using paycards. There are no meters. Most car parks also require paycards. Paycards are not sold in car parks and so must be bought in advance.

The only other type of paid parking in Jersey are a few car parks where you pay on exit. These are at the Elizabeth Harbour, the Airport and the Waterfront.

Most parking is charged from 8am to 5pm Monday to Saturday, but there are some car parks that charge outside of these times.

If you are bringing your car to Jersey, then you can buy Paycards on the ferry. If you forget, look for the 30 minute parking spaces on the right as soon as you drive out of the customs hall. If there is a space here it is worth going into the main terminal building – the shop sells Paycards for parking. Make sure someone stays with the car, or leave a note in the windscreen saying something like ‘Just arrived in Jersey – gone inside to buy Paycards’. Then hopefully you won’t be booked.

Buying Paycards

Paycards are not sold in car parks other than Sand Street. They are mainly sold in most corner shops, supermarkets, post offices, garages, hire car firms, Jersey Tourism and anywhere else that displays the ‘Paycards sold here sign’. It is strongly recommended you get hold of some Paycards before you park. They are sold in books of 10 or single cards, in three values – 1, 2 or 4 units.

If you have been to Jersey before and you have some Paycards left over, check that they say 1 unit, 2 units or 4 units in the bottom right-hand corner or half-way down the left-hand side. If instead they state a price, they are the old-style Paycards and are no longer valid.

Using Paycards

Look for the signs which tell you how long you can park for and how long a ‘unit’ will pay for. On-street parking in Jersey is divided into red and yellow zones. In the red zone you are allowed to stay for a maximum of one hour, using 1 unit of a Paycard. In the yellow zone (mostly town centre) parking is restricted to 20 minutes for 1 unit. Once this time is up you must move the car – you can’t add another Paycard.

Most of the large car parks charge 1 unit for an hour stay, but by displaying more units you can stay longer. Look at the information board to see the maximum stay. There are a few car parks that allow you 2 hours for 1 unit.

If you are using more than one paycard, scratch them all exactly the same. For example if you arrive at 10am and want to stay 3 hours at 1 unit an hour, scratch all your cards to say 10am. If you make a mistake scratching the card, you have to throw it away and use another one.

One of the drawbacks with parking in Jersey using Paycards is that you have to decide in advance how long you will be parking. Fines for staying longer than you have paid for are steep, so it’s worth using another unit if you think you might be a little late back. After you lock the car, check that your cards are clearly visible. You will be fined if they have fallen off the dashboard and can’t be seen clearly.

Cycling in Jersey – Getting Around Jersey

Cycling in Jersey

Jersey is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets for cycling and there is no better way of taking in the wonderful sights than from the seat of a bicycle. The 350 mile island-wide cycling network of roads, by-ways and lanes offer a number of trails and you can enjoy a leisurely scenic ride of just a few miles or a challenging ride around the island.

A newly developed Town Cycle Network now joins the existing 96 miles of marked routes and offers a series of routes using Liberation Square as the starting point.  The routes are suitable for novice riders who may not be confident in traffic and who require a safe and clearly visible route to the edge of town.

The Green Lanes network is also ideal for cyclists, with the surfaced roads meaning they are nice and smooth and with priority to cyclists, walkers and horse riders, means they avoid dangerous traffic.  Routes are well sign posted, and as well as a great way to explore and get some exercise, best of all is that cycling is free!

Some notes for cyclists: When cycling at night, ensure your front and rear lights are lit and your bicycle have an efficient red rear reflector. Stay as close as possible to the side of the road when wheeling your bicycle.  It is recommended that cyclists wear a cycle helmet and fluorescent or light coloured clothing.

Walking in Jersey – Getting Around Jersey

Plemont

For such a small Island, Jersey is a walker’s paradise offering a huge number of different types of walks from coastal walks with breath-taking views, country walks through rural paradises, wildlife walks for nature lovers and guided walks including annual walking festivals such as the spring and autumn walking weeks.

Everywhere along the coast you’ll find gentle beach walks and spectacular cliff paths or explore Jersey’s traditional woodland, there are half-hour strolls to long distance hikes, there really is a walk for everyone. Why not try the popular Charity Island walking event ‘the Itex walk’ which is also held on Guernsey .  The aim is to walk around the entire Island in just one day.

Jersey Green Lanes

Jersey’s famous ‘Green Lanes’ was first introduced in the Parish of St Peter in 1994 and can now be found in ten of the Island’s twelve parishes.  The only two parishes they do not feature are Trinity and St Saviour .  Easily identified by a special road sign with the words ‘Start of Green Lane’, the 50 mile network of tranquil and highly scenic lanes are a walker’s paradise and is the only way to experience the island’s natural beauty.

Inland footpaths are not as widespread as on the mainland and rights of way which cross private property, in particular woods and fields are rather the exception.  As the maximum speed limit is just 15mph, walkers have priority over the car and the lanes are surfaced roads so ideal for cyclists.  The tree-lined byways are an ideal way of travelling from parish to parish in a relaxing manor and the almost continual footpath along the north coast gives you access to some of the most spectacular scenery in the British Isles.

3 days in jersey itinerary: the best way to see the island [2024].

If you’re heading to the Channel Islands and want to know the best way to see Jersey, then look no further than this 3 days in Jersey itinerary!

Despite being only five miles long and nine miles wide, Jersey is a beautiful island packed with so many things to do and places to explore.

So much so, that you could easily spend a whole week here.

However, if you only have three days on your hands, don’t worry because this guide will show you how to maximise your time and get the best out of Jersey!

Faraway Lucy was welcomed as a guest of Visit Jersey ; however, as always, all opinions are my own.

Where is Jersey?

man-walking-down-beach-at-sunset-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

If you’re not already familiar with Jersey, let me give you a little backstory.

Situated fourteen miles from the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands between England and France.

Luckily for locals and visitors alike, this means that the island benefits from the same climate as the North of France.

This means that sunny days are far more guaranteed than they are back home in the UK!

Jersey is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, and as a result, the island feels like a mix between England and France, taking influence from both countries.

The island has a strong Norman-French culture, which you’ll notice in the French place names as you make your way around the island.

However, it still retains its British cultural influence in the shape of the island’s use of English as the main language and pound sterling as its primary currency.

How to get to Jersey

sunset-across-ocean-by-beach

Undoubtedly, the best way to get to Jersey is to fly!

And luckily for you, flights tend to be on the cheaper side too.

British Airways , EasyJet and Loganair all fly from the UK to Jersey, and if you’re flying from London (as I did), you can expect to get there in just forty minutes. Yep, just forty minutes!

However, if you’re not based near to London, don’t worry because you can also fly to Jersey from lots of other airports across the UK.

We’re talking Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Doncaster, Southampton and Liverpool.

We flew out first thing on Friday morning and flew back last thing Sunday evening.

This meant we had three full days to explore the island, and only had to use one day of annual leave.

However, if time is on your side and you’re based near Poole or Portsmouth, you can also choose to visit Jersey via ferry, and your journey will take around four hours.

Head on over to Condor Ferries and get booking, if you want to opt for a slower travel approach!

Where to stay in Jersey

outdoor-pool-in-front-of-somerville-hotel-in-st-aubin

You really are spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation in Jersey.

You’ve got luxury hotels, cheap Airbnbs, and everything in between!

However, the island is only home to two hostels, JAAC and Durrell Wildlife Hostel , so if you’re looking to travel on a very tight budget, this might not be the place for you.

We personally stayed in Somerville Hotel , one of the most famous and popular hotels on the whole island.

Nestled on the hillside in St Aubin, an enchanting fishing village, the country house hotel enjoys seriously good views.

The four-star hotel also serves up award-winning food (hello free breakfast!), a relaxing garden and pool area, free parking, free Wi-Fi and much more.

How to get around Jersey

By far the best way to get around Jersey is by car.

In fact, I’d probably go so far as to say that a car is almost essential if you want to maximise your time on this beautiful island.

I mean, you’re going to want to see as much of it as possible, right?

I’d recommend booking your rental car in Jersey before you arrive.

This way, once you leave the baggage area in the airport, you can quickly hop over to the car hire desks and drive away!

Car hire was surprisingly really cheap and the best bit is that because Jersey is such a small island, you won’t have to worry about fuel costs either.

We managed to see practically the whole island during our 3 days in Jersey and didn’t use more than half a tank of fuel.

Therefore, we didn’t have to visit a petrol station once. Cha-ching!

Please note that in Jersey they drive on the left (just like in the UK) and the island’s speed limit is set to 40mph.

However, if you don’t drive, you can also rely on Jersey’s public bus system to get around too. They even offer a ‘hop on hop off’ ticket.

There’s a bus stop right outside the airport to take people into St Helier, the capital of the island, and once you’re there you can check out the bus timetable .

Alternatively, other options for getting around are walking or cycling.

Yep, Jersey is so small that you can actually get around this way!

Not only is it healthier for you, but it’s more eco-friendly too!

Day 1 of your 3 Days in Jersey Itinerary

Midday: visit la corbière lighthouse.

la-cobiere-lighthouse-on-sunny-day-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

After arriving in Jersey late morning, it’s time to get straight to exploring!

Grab some lunch on the go if you’re feeling hungry (this is a great picnic spot after all), then head to La Corbière Lighthouse.

La Corbière is one of Jersey’s most famous attractions and one that absolutely cannot be left off any 3 days in Jersey itinerary.

Not only is its architecture impressive but the scenery surrounding it is too.

Whether you choose to admire the lighthouse from afar or walk the causeway to explore it up close (and go rock climbing as I did) is up to you.

No matter how you choose to enjoy this attraction, you’re guaranteed a great time.

Top tip: head back here for sunset later – it will blow your mind!

Early afternoon: Visit Noirmont Point

woman-looking-out-to-noirmont-point-at-sea

Before your main afternoon activity, head to Noirmont Point, a picturesque headland in St Brelade.

The coastal tower was acquired by the States in 1950 as the Island’s war memorial, so not only does it look amazing but it’s steeped in history too.

You won’t need to spend more than half an hour here (unless you go rock climbing) but it’s a beautiful spot to take some photos and soak up the scenery!

Late afternoon: Wild food forage with Wild Adventures Jersey

wild-food-foraging-with-wild-adventures-jersey

Address: Kempt Tower, La Grande Route des Mielles JE3 2FN

Phone number: 01534 744101

Next up on this 3 days in Jersey itinerary, we have one of my highlights of the entire trip!

I cannot even begin to describe how much this activity took me by surprise. I absolutely loved every second of it.

If you want to learn more about the history of the island and wild food foraging while eating some delicious plants with the best company you could ask for, look no further than Wild Adventures Jersey .

The legend that is Kazz Padidar takes you on a wild food forage in the wilds of St Ouen.

Along the way, you’ll take in fascinating scenery, encounter local wildlife and learn about the vast variety of edible and medicinal plants along the way.

Just trust me on this one and do it! You’ll thank me later, I promise.

Early evening: Drinks at Project 52

man-making-cocktail-behind-bar-of-project-52

Address: Waterloo Lane, St. Helier JE2 4WW

Phone number: 07700 803131

After checking into your hotel and freshening up for the evening, I think you deserve a drink after all that exploring, don’t you?

For one of the coolest places to drink in St Helier, head to  Project 52 , a bar so exclusive that you’ll probably struggle to even find it.

(I can confirm it even took us a while!) Top tip: look for the buzzer!

This Orwellian-inspired drinking establishment is discreetly located down a cobbled lane.

But once you’re in, I promise you it’s worth it.

Founded by a community of Jersey’s innovators and creators across a wide range of industries from art and architecture to finance and communications, Project 52 was created to be a space where anyone can feel at home. And that’s exactly what it felt like!

The public lounge was a ridiculously cosy space where you can melt into a chair to a backing track of 1920s style Jazz and ragtime.

As far as drinks are concerned, you’re spoilt for choice – so much so, that you’ll find yourself flicking back and forth through the pages of their drinks menu.

Why not just use that as a good excuse to get a few more drinks in, ey?

We were particularly impressed by the large offering of non-alcoholic drinks, including beer, cocktails and even wine. Bottoms up!

Evening: Dinner at Banjo

banjo-restaurant-dining-room-with-restaurant-tables

Address: 8 Beresford Street, St. Helier JE2 4WN

Phone number: 01534 850890

We’ve got to kick your first night in Jersey off with a bang, right?

In comes Banjo , a European-style grand brasserie serving tasty steak and fabulous fish as well as vegan and vegetarian options.

The elegant sophisticated restaurant certainly looks the part, and luckily for you, the food matches too!

After a busy day exploring, we were ready to dig into some delicious food, and delicious food is exactly what we got.

I started with a basket of continental bread (because, duh), and I followed this up with a vegan main of pumpkin and aubergine tikka masala with green coconut yoghurt, roast almonds, and crispy fried chickpeas.

To say it was delicious would be an understatement!

And for dessert, I opted for a dark chocolate bomb with vanilla ice cream, roast pear, hot chocolate sauce, which was equally as mind-blowing.

Day 2 of your 3 Days in Jersey Itinerary

Morning: have a mini spa day at ayush wellness spa.

pools-inside-ayush-wellness-spa-at-hotel-de-france

Address: Hotel de France, St. Saviour’s Road JE1 7XP

Phone number: 01534 614000

After a busy day travelling and exploring yesterday, I think it’s only fair that you kick off the second day of your 3 days in Jersey itinerary with a little R&R right?

After enjoying a free breakfast at your hotel, spend the morning relaxing at Ayush Wellness Spa at Hotel de France .

Here you can use the infinity pool, hydrotherapy pool with jacuzzi, hot and cold plunge pools and sauna and steam room.

And if you really want to treat yourself (this is a holiday after all), why not add a treatment to your spa morning too?

I’ve got to say, my facial was something special!

I personally don’t enjoy coming back to work after a weekend break feeling more tired than I was when I left. (Which is almost inescapable, right?)

But with a mini spa day, you’ll feel totally relaxed for the rest of your trip.

Early afternoon: Lunch at The Hungry Man

man-ordering-food-at-the-hungry-man-kiosk

Address: Rozel Bay, Trinity, JE3 5BN

Phone number: 01534 863227

After dragging yourself away from the spa (I promise you won’t want to leave!), it’s time to drive fifteen minutes to the north of the island to the scenic Rozel Bay.

Because it’s ridiculously cute, Rozel Bay is worth a visit in its own right, but what you really come here for is to refuel at the famous Hungry Man kiosk.

I mean, it’s basically illegal to visit the seaside without some chips, right?

And when The Hungry Man serves up some of the best of the best you really can’t say no!

However, you can get more than just chips here.

From gourmet burgers to crab sandwiches to delicious homemade cakes, there are endless options for you to tuck into.

And not only is the food delicious but the views are just as special.

Just remember to bundle up warm in the chillier months as all seating is al fresco!

Late afternoon: Explore Mont Orgueil Castle

gorey-and-mont-orgueil-castle-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

Address: Castle Green, Gorey JE3 6ET

Phone number: 0 1534 853292

Next up on this 3 days in Jersey itinerary is a trip to one of the most famous attractions in Jersey: Mont Orgueil Castle .

Steeped in history, this impressive medieval castle has cast its shadow over the beautiful fishing village of Gorey for over 800 years.

The village is worth a visit in itself because as you can see from the photo above, it’s pretty picturesque!

And, of course, it’s worth catching a glimpse of Mont Orgueil from afar so you can appreciate its full glory.

However, if you really want to learn more about the fascinating history of the castle, it’s worth paying the £13.40 entry fee.

Take your time exploring the network of staircases, towers and secret rooms to discover gruesome tales and hidden treasures.

And once you finally get to the top, you’ll be rewarded with some of the most breathtaking views in all of Jersey. Worth the price tag in itself, I assure you!

We visited on the most beautiful sunny day and it felt (and looked!) like we were in the Mediterranean.

The French coast has never looked better!

Evening: Dinner at Portelet Bay Café

views-from-portelet-bay-cafe-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

Address: La Rue Voisin JE3 8PN

Phone number: 01534 728550

Next up we have the highlight of our trip and somewhere that I absolutely urge everyone to visit while you’re in Jersey.

After climbing up all those steps to the top of Mont Orgueil Castle, it’s time for…

Ha, you thought I’d say food, didn’t you?

Well, unfortunately for you, it’s not that simple as Portelet Bay Café is equally as hard to find as Project 52. (I like making you work for your food and drink, okay?)

This family-run cafe is located right on the beach at Portelet Bay, set between the conservation areas of Noirmont and Portelet Common.

Basically what I’m saying it’s that it’s outstandingly beautiful but also outstandingly difficult to find.

Access to the cafe is either by steps down to the bay or boat.

You can’t drive to the cafe but this only makes it a million times more special and unique.

I’d recommend parking at one of two large public car parks, Noirmont or Ouaisne.

Each of which provides a fifteen-minute walk across the headland to Portelet.

Once you finally arrive, you’ll be blown away by both the setting and the food.

Known for their authentic woodfired pizza as well as seasonal fresh fish during the summer, the cafe uses locally sourced produce wherever possible.

I had a mammoth feast of garlic bread to start, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had for mains (with red peppers, red onion, butternut squash, rocket and fresh pesto for toppings), and a chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert.

Words really can’t do this magical little spot justice.

I guess you’ll just have to come and experience it for yourself…

Day 3 of your 3 Days in Jersey Itinerary

Late morning: visit devil’s hole.

devils-hole-on-north-coast-of-jersey-island

Address: The Priory Inn Devils Hole, La Grande Rue JE3 3BD

It’s your last day in Jersey so why not treat yourself to a lie-in and enjoy breakfast slowly?

After a slow morning, it’s time to head to one of my all-time favourite places in Jersey: Devil’s Hole.

Park at The Priory Inn , then descend the winding path to an impressive blowhole that has been eroded into Jersey’s coastline over the millennia.

The blowhole itself is not only seriously impressive but the views of Jersey’s north coast are unbeatable too.

If you have more time on your hands, you can extend the walk to discover some more cliff tops and secret bays that the north coast has to offer.

Early afternoon: Lunch and a wine tour at La Mare Wine Estate

couple-picking-grapes-at-la-mare-wine-estate-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

Address: La Mare Wine Estate, St. Mary JE3 3BA

Phone number: 01534 481178

After discovering the natural beauty that is Devil’s Hole, drive just two minutes to La Mare Wine Estate to enjoy a delicious lunch at the Vineyard Cafe made by head chef, Marcin Ciechomski.

Whether you’re a wine lover or not, lunch at La Mare is worth it for both how yummy the food is and how beautiful the surroundings are.

I mean, who doesn’t want to eat lunch in the sunshine surrounded by a vineyard?

For lunch, I ordered the Mediterranean flatbread with peppers, red onion, tomato, mushrooms and mozzarella, with a side of chunky chips. And let me tell you: it was delicious.

After your lunch, join a guided tour for a unique vineyard experience.

The tour takes you around the beautiful vineyards, orchards, the Cognac style distillery and the chocolate production kitchen. (The last bit was definitely my favourite!)

As part of the tour, you’ll get to enjoy a variety of estate made products including two wines, apple brandy cream liqueur, chocolate, and ending with a G&T overlooking their award-winning gardens.

Sounds like a pretty good afternoon to me!

Late afternoon: Go for a walk down St Ouens Bay

couples-walking-down-st-ouens-bay-3-days-in-jersey-itinerary

What better way to round off your 3 days in Jersey itinerary than with a long beach walk?

Luckily, at St Ouens Bay, you’re not far from the airport.

So if you’ve got some time to kill before your flight, this is the perfect way to spend the hour.

You’ve already had a glimpse of St Ouens Bay while food foraging with Wild Adventures Jersey.

However, it’s now time to get a little more up close and personal with the beach.

Spanning almost the entire west coast of Jersey, with mile after mile of beautiful sand, it’s one of the most beautiful and famous beaches on the island. And for good reason!

At five miles long, there’s plenty of space and facilities for everyone, especially keen surfers.

So if you have time and fancy getting your surf on, why not hit the waves before you make your way home?

When in Jersey, after all!

So there you have it: a 3 days in Jersey itinerary!

I couldn’t recommend a trip to Jersey more so if you’re now feeling inclined to hit that ‘book flight’ button, I hope you have the most amazing trip.

Well, I say ‘I hope’ but I know you will because Jersey is great!

Getting Around Jersey: A Comprehensive Guide to Exploring the Island

Jersey is a small, beautiful island in the English Channel between England and France. It’s the biggest Channel Islands and combines British and French styles. Even though it’s only nine miles long and five miles wide, Jersey has many different places to see – like pretty beaches, green countryside, and old buildings. One of the best things about Jersey is that there are many ways to get around.

You can take a bus, drive a car, ride a bike, or walk. Each method is special and lets you see Jersey differently. This guide will help you find the best way to see all the cool things in Jersey and have a great trip!

Public Transportation in Jersey

bus trip around jersey

Jersey’s comprehensive public transportation system is centred around the parish of St Helier, acting as the hub for the island’s bus services. The network covers all major tourist attractions, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for visitors. Buses operate from the modern Liberation bus station in St Helier, providing reliable and comfortable transport across the island.

The bus service extends into rural areas for those looking to explore beyond the city, making even the most secluded corners of Jersey accessible. The ‘Explorer tickets’ are particularly beneficial for tourists, offering unlimited travel and representing excellent value for money. These tickets allow you to hop on and off at various attractions at your leisure, making them ideal for a flexible, stress-free island exploration. 

Taxi Services on the Island

bus trip around jersey

Jersey’s taxi services are a convenient choice for those seeking a more personal and direct mode of transportation. The island boasts a reliable fleet of local taxis, readily available for spontaneous rides from public ranks and pre-booked private hires. When using these services, it’s important to note that rates can vary depending on the time of day, with different tariffs applied for evenings, weekends, and public holidays.

Taxis in Jersey offer a stress-free way to navigate the island, especially beneficial for those unfamiliar with the local roads or for late-night travel. 

Driving in Jersey

bus trip around jersey

Driving around Jersey is a great way to see the island at your own pace. The island has many roads, over 350 miles, that take you through beautiful countryside and along the coast. When you drive in Jersey, remember that people go on the left side of the road, just like in the UK. The maximum speed limit is usually 40 miles per hour, but it can be lower in some places, especially on the small ‘Green Lanes’ where the speed limit is just 15 mph.

You can bring your car or rent one. Renting a car is a good idea because it lets you visit many different places on your schedule. But there are a few things to know. For example, traffic lights in Jersey go straight from red to green without the amber light in between. And there are some signs, like ‘filter in turn,’ which means you take turns with other cars at some junctions. Remember, if you’re bringing your vehicle, you must have a special insurance card and driving license.

Jersey is a fantastic place for cycling. The island has a big network of roads and lanes perfect for bike riding. It’s a fun and healthy way to see the island. There are even special ‘Green Lanes’ where cyclists, walkers, and horse riders are given priority over cars, making it safer and more enjoyable.

There are a lot of different cycling routes you can take, from easy rides just a few miles long to more challenging ways that go around the whole island. The trails are well-marked so that you will stay aware, and they take you to beautiful places. You can bring your bike or rent one on the island. It’s a free way to get around and see many cool things!

Walking and Hiking

bus trip around jersey

Walking is one of the best ways to explore Jersey. The island might be small, but it has a lot of different walks you can do. There are walks along the coast where you can see amazing sea views, walks in the countryside where you can visit farms and forests, and even walks where you can learn about nature and wildlife.

There are walks for everyone, whether you want a short, easy stroll or a longer hike. Some special walking events happen throughout the year, like walking festivals in the spring and autumn. There’s even a big walking event called the Itex Walk, where people try to walk around the island in one day!

Jersey is a beautiful island with lots of different ways to get around. Whether you like to drive, take a bus, ride a bike, or walk, there’s something for everyone. Each method of getting around lets you see the island differently. So when you visit Jersey, try different ways of exploring and see which one you like best. Have fun and enjoy all the wonderful things Jersey has to offer!

BLACKWOOD, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A man is accused of killing his mother in South Jersey over the weekend.

Police say 65-year-old Lillian Doran was found dead around 10:31 a.m. Saturday inside a home on the 100 block of Fairmount Avenue in Blackwood.

Doran died from blunt force trauma to the head, authorities said.

The victim's son, 30-year-old James Doran, of Blackwood, was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police in Bedford, Pennsylvania.

He is facing murder charges and is being held at the Bedford County Correctional Facility pending an extradition hearing.

Further details on what led up to the killing have not been revealed.

Battleship New Jersey to leave Camden for historic dry docking. Here's how to witness the ‘once in a generation' trip down the Delaware.

The battleship new jersey is scheduled to leave camden march 21st. the ship will spend about 60 days at the philadelphia naval shipyard for historic dry dock maintenance., by siobhan mcgirl • published march 2, 2024 • updated on march 2, 2024 at 12:50 pm.

America's most decorated battleship will leave its home, dominating Camden's waterfront, for the first time in decades. Later this month, the Battleship New Jersey will travel down the Delaware River to the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard for historic dry dock maintenance.

"This battleship is just a tremendous piece of history," said Marshall Spevak, CEO of the Battleship New Jersey. “This is a once in a generation opportunity really to see the ship move.”

The ship is scheduled to depart from Camden on Thursday March 21st at exactly high tide, 12:10 p.m. The museum will host a send-off ceremony on the pier at 11 a.m. It will mark the first time the battleship has moved from Camden since she arrived in 2000.

"People are calling in telling us they are flying in from other parts of the country to be here on the 21st," said Spevak.

The Battleship New Jersey will be dry docked for the first time in 32 years

According to Spevak, the $10 million dry dock project is long overdue. It is also vital for the battleship's longevity.

“Typically decommissioned navy ships are supposed to be dry docked every 20 years. We are almost at 35 now,” said Spevak.

The maintenance work in Philly is expected to take about 60 days. The battleship will return to Camden once the work is complete, but people will also have the chance to see the battleship in Philly. The museum is selling rare dry dock tours on the weekends, offering people the chance to walk underneath the battleship.

“I'm not sure when the next time an Iowa class battleship will be in dry dock," said Spevak. "That’s why we are saying it is really a once in a generation opportunity.”

What goes into moving an 887-foot-long 45,000-ton battleship?

The Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial is closed to tours as the crew prepares for the move.

In order for the battleship to fit under the Walt Whitman Bridge, they had to remove the mast and radar from the top of the ship.

"Even now at high tide we are about 11 to 16 feet clearing of the bridge so it is still a very tight space," explained Spevak.

They also removed the northern gangway from the ship. Contractors are coming on board to disable the electric, mechanicals, and plumbing.

"Right now our crew is starting to go and just sort of clear out a lot of the areas and batten down the hatches," said Spevak. "The wind, the weather, the tides- there’s just an incredible amount that goes into moving a ship like this especially a battleship, a decommissioned ship that hasn’t moved in decades."

A full circle moment for the man in charge of towing the Battleship New Jersey

The battleship will be towed by four tug boats.

“It’s what we call a dead ship. It doesn’t have propulsion. The tug boats will be operating in place of the ship’s engine and rudder," explained Joseph Benton, with McAllister Towing of Philadelphia.

Benton will lead the entire tow operation. It is a full circle moment for him. He captained one of the tug boats that originally brought the battleship to Camden.

"Full circle, for sure," said Benton. "To be able to come back 20 something years later and be able to be the pilot in charge of it, it is pretty awesome.”
