By Road
An easy distance from Sydney, Jervis Bay is approximately 3 hours by car. As you head south from the capital, you’ll be treated to stunning views and peaceful coastline. It’s worth it to spend the majority of the route on the Grand Pacific Drive, a stretch of highway that begins just south of Sydney and terminates in Nowra.
Jervis Bay is also within driving distance from Canberra. There are several different route options. Many travellers choose a route which winds up through Kangaroo Valley. This can be quite scenic but is more time consuming. Other more direct routes lead across a mixture of dirt and bitumen roads. This is a unique way to approach the bay and will avoid some of the heavier traffic encountered via other routes.
From Afar
Although Jervis Bay does boast its own airport, your best bet when coming from abroad or from another of Australia’s states or territories is to fly into the more highly-trafficked Sydney airport. Hiring a car after landing is easy enough, but there are also other options to deliver you safely and efficiently to Jervis Bay.
The Jervis Bay Airport Express is a great shuttle option to bring you to and from the South Coast. Daily service to Jervis Bay is available as well. While you’re in the area, you can also take advantage of the company’s private charters and wine tour options, to see all that this region has to offer.
Public Transport
For those seeking a third option, public transportation offers an easy way to get to Jervis Bay. Trains from Sydney can bring you with fair swiftness to Nowra and other South Coast destinations. From Canberra, a bus to Wollongong and then heading south will be your best bet. There are also options throughout the immediate region such as through Nowra Coaches.
