A crash course for locals
After a year of binge watching Netflix, the furthest most locals have travelled is from sofa to supermarket. Now we’re dusting off our swim shorts and rolling out our beach towels, but we’ve forgotten the fundamentals. What’s the appropriate hour to brunch? What on Earth do we pack? Where in the world is Ouaisne? So we’ve created a refresher course to help you rediscover your island through the fresh eyes of a holidaymaker.
When you’re on staycay, there are in fact two weekends in any given week. The regular kind and the more decadent kind from Tuesday to Thursday, slap bang in the middle of the week. The world opens up to you on a mid-weekend break: bag the best table at your favourite restaurant, book a luxurious facial into your schedule and grab huge discounts on hotel stays. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could stay in a different corner of Jersey each night. Get that mid-weekend feeling with these hand-picked holiday deals!
If it’s not on Insta - did your holiday even happen? When you’re on staycation, you need to obsessively snap every beauty spot to guarantee that double-tap. We’ve scoured local Instagram feeds to bring you our edit of the most photogenic places in Jersey so you can make your Instagram feed seriously envy-worthy. Download the Instagrammer’s Guide here. Just remember to tag #doitforJersey when you post…

Life slows down when you’re on holiday to a glacial, gentler pace. This can be rather frustrating if you’re late for the office and stuck behind bum-bagged, camera-toting tourists, but when you’re on staycation, you’ll soon get into the easy rhythm of it. We’ve created a four-day walking itinerary so you can conquer the island from coast to coast, with hidden gems to rediscover along the way. Why not stay in a different hotel every night? And if it takes you a few days longer, who’s counting?

Here’s an Instagrammer’s guide to eating your way through the most beautiful food in Jersey.

Have you always wanted to abseil the sheer face of Mont Orgueil? To walk an ale trail from coast to coast? To conquer two castles in one day? Never quite got around it?

If you have time on your hands, the island at your feet, and leisure on your mind, here are some simple ideas for a wonderful day out in the Jersey National Park. Home to miles of unspoilt beaches, bays, cliff paths, and headland, the Jersey National Park extends over an area of approximately 30 miles (48km) of Jersey's coastline, Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers, and Paternosters. The chances are you or someone close to you is living in it! Here is a downloadable map of things to explore, places to eat, and activities to enjoy in and around the Jersey National Park.

Feel the freedom of the open road - here are a few of our top tips for exploring in style.
