2-day itinerary

A perfect weekend in Jersey

Two days is enough to feel Jersey’s range: a morning at Mont Orgueil and lunch in Gorey, an afternoon on the east coast, then a second day swinging west for St Brelade’s Bay and a La Corbière sunset. Base yourself in St Helier or Gorey, and check the tide tables before you plan anything coastal.
