Jersey Top Things To Do

• Swim and sunbathe on the extensive beaches to either side of St Helier in the south; stretching 5km (3 miles) west around St Aubin's Bay, and east to La Roque Point. However, at all Jersey beaches, beware very strong currents.

• Windsurf or waterski at one of the island's most popular and beautiful beaches, St Brelade's Bay, west of St Aubin.

• Go surfing on the west coast; particularly off the sweeping 8km (5-mile) sandy beach on St Ouen's Bay.

• Sub-aqua enthusiasts and anglers, head for Bouley Bay on the northeast coast; it is a fishing harbour with an old fort and a small sandy beach.

• Walk round the island. The north has the highest land and most rugged scenery, but gentler walks are possible inland and in the south. One suggested route follows the line of the old Jersey Railway which runs from St Aubin to the lighthouse at Corbière on the island's southwestern tip.

• Go cycling. Jersey's network of ‘Green Lanes', which have a 24kph (15mph) speed limit, are ideal for cyclists.

• Bring your clubs. Jersey has two famous 18-hole golf courses: La Moye in St Brelade and Royal Jersey in Grouville (website: www.royaljersey.com). Both require proof of handicap or membership in a recognised club. Anyone can play at 18-hole Les Mielles or Les Ormes and nine-hole Wheatlands or Greve D'Azette.

• Go on a pottery, candle-making or leatherwork course, which are very popular in Jersey.
