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 first thing to consider when going in the warm weather are all of the beaches. There are over 20 of them dotted conveniently around the island and no matter where you are you will never be too far away from the beautiful soft sands.
For those who enjoy a bit of physical exercise and getting involved close to nature, there are also numerous lovely walks that you can go on and bike rides to enjoy. Again, this sort of activity is better during the summer months.
For families there are certainly many fine attractions to take advantage of. The zoo on the island is set in lands of about 31 acres and boasts some wonderful different exotic and endangered species. There is a restaurant to pick up a bite to eat at the end and a gift shop for the kids to pick up a toy of their favorite critter.
Other ideas for family days out include a trip to Samares Manor which boasts some lovely grounds with beautiful herb gardens. If you want to take in the beautiful sights at your leisure you can take a trip on a horse drawn cart. If you want to take in the ambiance and the sights of the Manor you can take a tour of the rooms and its history. There is also a wonderful butterfly enclosure with numerous species of butterfly to visit if you so desire.
For the museum lovers, there are many to visit and take in when the weather takes a turn for the worse. The Jersey museum offers visitors the chance to learn all about the islands cultural history and all of their traditions. There are interactive exhibits and activities to get involved with to provoke your interest. For another side of the islands history visit the maritime museum to find out all about its water based activities. Of note on display is an historical boat currently undergoing restoration.
There is also a military museum that covers both British and German history and gives an insight in some of the fighting that has taken place on the island in past years.
Jersey therefore offers so much to everyone that there is rarely a dull moment when taking a trip there.
