Barbados is known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. But there’s a beach much closer to home which doubles for this Caribbean Island.
Only an hour and 20 minute flight from Manchester Airport, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and lies 14 miles from the French coast. It’s home to a gorgeous beach which visitors have said is “like Barbados” - just without the costly long-haul flight.
An island country and a self-governing British Crown Dependency, Jersey offers a blend of British and French culture. It benefits from a slightly warmer and sunnier climate compared to the other British Isles due to its southerly location and sheltered position in the Bay of St Malo, the Liverpool Echo reports.
