Visit Jersey has announced the launch of the ‘Jersey Tidal Trail’, a new coastal walking experience designed to showcase the island’s stunning coastline, rich heritage, and unique tidal landscape.
Spanning over 48 miles (77 km) and encircling the island’s dramatic coastline, the Jersey Tidal Trail is a self-guided walking route celebrating the giant tides that shape the island. From medieval castles to WWII bunkers, picturesque fishing harbours to seafood shacks and beach cafés, the trail is an open-air gallery of Jersey’s past and present, powered by the pull of the tides.
Visit Jersey is actively promoting the Jersey Tidal Trail as a must-do coastal adventure – for walkers, cyclists, explorers, history buffs, and foodies alike. The trail is designed to become a standout year-round travel experience that appeals to the UK and European market, inspiring more visitors to explore Jersey beyond the beach. In the long term, Visit Jersey are building a signature tourism experience that drives footfall, supports local businesses, and tells a story about Jersey as a world-class coastal destination.
Created to appeal to both committed hikers and casual coastal strollers, the trail can be explored in full as part of a multi-day walking holiday or enjoyed in eight individual sections, each clearly marked with distance and difficulty ratings. From rugged cliff-top treks to easy harbour-hopping strolls, there’s a route to suit every pace, preference, and ability. Visitors can tackle a single section, complete them all, or mix and match to create their own ideal adventure.
Full digital wayfinding is available on Komoot and Strava. Find out more about the Jersey Tidal Trail on jersey.com.
