 Unlike the largely autonomous islands of Sark and Alderney within the Bailiwick, Jethou is administered entirely by the States of Guernsey, and elects members to the States of Deliberation as part of the St. Peter Port South electoral district.At the back (east) of Jethou, puffins can be seen swimming off the rocks.The British 1957 musical "Free as Air" by Dorothy Reynolds and Julian Slade was set on the fictitious island of 'Terhou', which was based on Jethou.
