Things to do in Jersey this autumn
Summer may be over, but there’s still plenty to enjoy at the Ommaroo Hotel and around our beautiful island. Autumn brings a slower pace, quieter beaches and a good excuse to spend a little longer over lunch. Whether you’re planning a half-term family holiday or a few days away for two, there’s plenty to fill your stay.
Make the most of your stay
Start the day with a hearty breakfast before heading out for a walk along the seafront. Afterwards, settle into Coast Bar & Bistro for a delicious lunch with a view. There’s no need to rush — sometimes the best part of a holiday is having time to sit back and watch the world go by.
If you’re feeling brave, pack your swimming things for a refreshing dip at Havre des Pas bathing pool, right on our doorstep. Follow it with something warm to drink and enjoy that lovely feeling of having earned your lunch.

Your perfect base for exploring Jersey
The Ommaroo is just a 10-minute walk from St Helier town centre, with a bus stop right outside our door. From beaches and countryside to shops and attractions, it’s easy to get out and explore, then come back to a comfortable room by the sea.
Take to the ice this half term
Jersey on Ice returns to the Weighbridge in St Helier on Saturday 24th October 2026, just in time for the October half-term break. The rink is scheduled to stay open until Sunday 10th January 2027, so there’s plenty of time to fit in a visit during an autumn or festive stay.
Whether you’re finding your feet or already confident on skates, it’s a fun addition to a family day in town. Check the latest session times and book online through Jersey Development Company.
Spend a day at Jersey Zoo
Animal lovers won’t want to miss Jersey Zoo. Set in landscaped grounds, it’s a lovely place to spend a few hours discovering animals and learning about the conservation work that helps protect threatened species.
Take your time exploring, bring an extra layer and enjoy a day out that gives everyone something to talk about afterwards.
Burn off some energy
If the children have energy to spare, Jump Jersey at Les Ormes is a great option. With trampolining, climbing walls and soft play, there’s plenty to keep them busy — and being indoors makes it handy for a rainy afternoon.
For older children and adventurous adults, Valley Adventure Centre offers aerial trekking, zip-wire adventures and more. Check the age and height requirements when choosing activities, and book ahead to secure your session.
Make time for a round of golf
A crisp autumn day is a lovely time to head out onto one of Jersey’s golf courses. From coastal fairways to shorter courses, there’s a choice of places to play, with visitor tee times available at clubs including St Clement’s, the Royal Jersey and La Moye.
Book ahead and check each club’s visitor requirements before travelling. Find inspiration for your golfing break on Visit Jersey.
Discover Jersey’s history and heritage
There’s far more to Jersey than just its beaches. Explore the Island’s stories through Jersey Heritage, from the impressive Mont Orgueil Castle overlooking Gorey to museums and ancient sites.
The National Trust for Jersey also cares for fascinating historic properties and beautiful natural places. Autumn is a good time to combine a little history with a countryside walk. Check seasonal opening dates before setting off, as these vary between sites.
Enjoy a day in St Helier
With town so close to the Ommaroo, a spot of retail therapy is easy to fit into your stay. Browse independent shops, familiar high-street names and the Central Market, with a coffee stop whenever the mood takes you.
Round off your visit with something to eat. St Helier has plenty of choice, from restaurants for a special occasion to relaxed cafés and family favourites — including McDonald’s for anyone who prefers something familiar!
After a day of skating, exploring or shopping, come back to Coast Bar & Bistro for a relaxed meal and a catch-up about the day’s adventures. With the beach on our doorstep and St Helier just a short walk away, the Ommaroo makes a welcoming base for your autumn break.
Book your autumn stay direct and make the most of a few days by the sea.
