If you&#8217;re staying at Utah Beach campsite, the closest departure point is Barneville-Carteret, located 45 minutes away. The crossing from Carteret port is also the shortest: 1 hour 5 minutes by boat, compared to 1 hour 20 minutes from Granville and 1 hour 25 minutes from Saint-Malo.  <\/p>\n<p>The ferry company that provides the connection between Carteret and Saint Helier port in Jersey is Manche \u00celes Express, which also offers shuttles to Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, departing from Barneville-Carteret, Granville, and Di\u00e9lette. In high season, the return fare from Carteret to Saint Helier for an adult is a maximum of 64 euros. The child fare is 30 euros for a return ticket for passengers between 4 and 14 years old. To bring your bike, you will need to add an additional 30 euros for the return trip. Several services can be booked at the same time as your ferry tickets: boat trips around the Channel Islands, guided tours of Jersey by coach or vintage bus, lunches, or electric bike rentals.    <\/p>\n<p>If you wish to bring your car, van, or motorhome to easily get around the island, you will need to take the ferry from Saint-Malo, 2 hours from Utah Beach, with Condor Ferries. The indicative price for a return trip for two adults is 70 to 100 euros depending on the period. For a vehicle, expect around 100 euros per crossing for a standard-sized car, which means approximately 200 euros extra for the return trip.  <\/p>\n<h2>What documents are required to disembark in Jersey?<\/h2>\n<p>A valid identity card or passport is essential to travel to Jersey as well as Guernsey. Children not accompanied by their parents must have a parental authorization to leave the territory, an identity document, and a copy of the identity document of the legal representative who signed the authorization. If you are visiting Jersey for several days with a leisure vehicle such as a converted van or a motorhome, you must also have a reservation at an island campsite upon boarding. Finally, if you are traveling with an animal, you must be able to show its veterinary passport with proof of rabies vaccination. The animal must also be microchipped and have received parasite treatment a few days before departure.    <\/p>\n<h2>What to visit on Jersey Island?<\/h2>\n<p>Jersey Island is a small territory, 8 km by 14 km.
