The Poole Harbour Guide 2012 - Poole Harbour Commissioners

Journey to Jersey
Jersey is the most southerly destination in the British
Isles. Located some 100 miles south of mainland Britain
yet only 14 miles from the nearby French coast, the
Island provides visitors with fantastic opportunities to
explore both on sea and ashore.
Jersey experiences some of the largest tidal ranges in
the world (up to 12 metres), thereby providing
yachtsmen with some of the most exhilarating sailing
imaginable. Coupled with a favourable climate (Jersey is
officially recognised as the sunniest place in the British
Isles) visitors will be assured of a warm welcome at
whatever time of year they visit.
