Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, is just 14 miles from the French coast and sits in the tropical-looking Bay of St Malo. If you're desperate for a sun-soaked island holiday featuring white sandy beaches and deep blue seas, but don't want to spend hours on a plane to get there, then Jersey may very well be the ideal destination for you. In fact St Brelade's Bay, pictured above, is frequently compared to far more tropical locations.
On Tripadvisor, one reviewer wrote: "Better than the Caribbean. Without any doubt the best beach I’ve been to in years. "The sand is so fine and picturesque.
" Jersey is part of the UK, but its close proximity to France gives it a cosmopolitan vibe that Tripadvisor describes as a "mix of English reserve and French savoir-faire". The French influence is particularly evident where food is concerned. The small island has hundreds of amazing restaurants , from cheap hidden gems to Michelin-starred fine dining restaurants like Bohemia , which serves elaborate-sounding dishes like Cornish salted caviar and brown crab and almond panna cotta.
Also, boasting views of St Brelade’s Bay, L’Horizon’s terrace is widely recommended by visitors. Jersey is also well-known for its local delicacies such as black butter , a sweet spread made from cider apples, as well as fresh seafood - meaning that wherever you go, you're in for a culinary treat. The scenery is as breathtaking as the food .
