Reg's Garden:
Located in St Brelade, Reg's Garden is open every day of the year from
10.00 to 17.00, with entry free, although a charitable donation is encouraged. Although a
visit is recommended at any time to experience the delights of the garden, ponds, water-
falls etc it is well worth trying to arrange for your visit to coincide with one of the week-

enough to see one of the Civil Wedding ceremonies, which can now be held in the Garden
Theatre. Tel: 01534 743756

South Coast Cruises
:
A journey along the south coast on board the “Southern Bay Rose”
shows the island from a totally different perspective. The catamaran is 50 feet long and
can accommodate up to 100 passengers or private parties for up to 60 guests. There is a
bar and toilets on board. Cruises last either 1½ or 2½ hours. If you don't have your own

Visits to Other Islands and France:
A visit to Jersey can be easily combined with a visit
to one of the other Channel Islands or northern France and a day trip should be considered
by anybody who is visiting the island for more than just a few days.
St Malo:
One of the pearls of the north coast of France it is relatively straightforward to
visit St Malo for the day. There is normally a morning departure with a late afternoon re-
turn. Sometimes, particularly at weekends, there is a late ferry back from France, which
clearly allows for a longer day in the French town.
