There is so much to do in Jersey. If you are a visitor to the island or you are a local just looking for something to do on a rainy day, you are bound to find something that takes your fancy.
The best time to visit the island is most definitely during the summer months when you can benefit from some lovely warm weather. There are over 20 beaches placed at regular intervals around the rugged coastline. These beaches are all overlaid with lovely soft sand and comparatively warm waters than you can expect to find around beaches on the mainland.
There are also several places where you can rent out bikes and go on cycling adventures all round the island. Trekking is also another popular activity and you should consult the local visitors centre to find maps of all the different routes for you to explore.
If you are with a young family you can never go wrong with the Jersey zoo that has some of the worlds most wonderful and endangered species on display. The zoo is set over grounds of about 31 acres and can be completed in a few hours if you want to see everything. There is also a gift shop and a restaurant on site.
For other days out be sure to visit the Samares Manor with its beautiful grounds and gardens. Take a tour around the manor or get involved with one of the tips through the grounds on a horse drawn van. For those who are interested in nature and beautiful creatures, the butterfly centre is a real treat. Visitors head into an enclosed area and can get up close and personal with hundreds of rare and wonderful butterflies.
There are also many museums on the island for the more cultural amongst us to explore. The history of the island and all its wonderful traditions are depicted in the Jersey museum, with the use of interactive displays and exhibits to capture the imagination. For those interested in the great British history amongst the waves, there is also the maritime museum that offer some insight into Jersey's contribution to the homeland.
In addition to these there is a military museum which is housed in a restored German bunker and displays both British and German artifacts from uniforms to equipments and various different documents. There are many more museums on offer on various themes for those who wish to visit them.
Jersey therefore offers so much to everyone that there is rarely a dull moment when taking a trip there.
