The Other Jersey Across the Sea
"Fourteen miles off the coast of Normandy lies an island of dramatic coastal tides, medieval ramparts, and a quiet kinship to our home state."
Living in New Jersey, we rarely pause to think about where our state found its name. Tucked into the English Channel sits Jersey Island—a sun-drenched sanctuary of dramatic granite cliffs, peaceful harbors, and centuries of rich maritime heritage. It is a world where French street names meet British tea traditions, offering an enchanting journey far off the conventional itinerary.
Mont Orgueil & Coastal Lore
Towering over the fishing village of Gorey for over 800 years, Mont Orgueil Castle protected the island from French invasion. Today, walking along its ancient stone battlements offers breathtaking views straight across to France.
The World's Greatest Tides
Jersey experiences one of the world's most dramatic tidal shifts—rising and falling by up to forty feet in a single day. At low tide, the seabed reveals historic towers and hidden tidal pools ripe for gentle coastal walks.
