Welcome to paradise

Your toughest decision is what to do first

Jervis Bay, just a few hours’ drive from both Canberra and Sydney, is one of the most spectacular locations on the NSW South Coast. Natural beauty, fascinating wildlife, rich history, vibrant culture, a flourishing food and wine scene and outdoor activities for all ages.

The towns and villages are full of award-winning cafes and restaurants, independent shops, open-air markets and boutique accommodation. The Shoalhaven also produces premium wines, with 16 cellar doors in the region.

The area hosts annual events including the Sand and Sea Festival, the Jervis Bay Marathon and the SeeChange Arts Festival.

The practical bits

What makes the bay special

White sand beaches

World-famous Hyams Beach might be the jewel in the crown, but there are 16 other equally beautiful and less crowded white sand beaches to explore, many of them dog friendly.

Surfing, kayaking, snorkelling, sandcastles or paddling with toddlers, there’s a beach for it.

National parks

A protected marine park spans 100km of coastline. The bay has a rich Aboriginal history dating back thousands of years, and local Aboriginal communities retain a deep connection with the land.

If you only have one day trip in you, the Aboriginal owned and managed Booderee National Park is a must-see.

Wildlife

Whales, dolphins, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, fur seals and an array of birdlife call the bay home. A resident pod of dolphins is often seen from shore or on our cruises.

Whale season runs May to November, with numbers growing every year, including newborn calves in the bay.
