There’s a lot to love about Jervis Bay. White-sand beaches, clear water, national parks, incredible marine life and plenty of ways to get out and explore it all.
We reckon a visit to the brewery is an essential part of any Jervis Bay trip, but there’s a whole lot more to see while you’re here. So, when you’re not working your way through a tasting paddle, here are a few of our favourite ways to experience our little corner of the South Coast.
For something a little different to your standard hotel stay, Paperbark Camp puts you right among the spotted gums and bushland just outside Huskisson.
Their safari-style tents combine the experience of sleeping in the Australian bush with considerably more comfort than pitching your own tent. It’s peaceful, beautifully designed and a pretty special base for a few days exploring Jervis Bay.
Good for: Weekend escapes, couples and anyone who likes the idea of camping more than actually camping.
One of the best ways to explore Jervis Bay is from water level.
Sea Kayak Jervis Bay runs guided paddling experiences through the Bay’s clear waters, taking in beaches, coves, rocky coastline and local wildlife along the way.
It’s a slower, quieter way to explore the coast and a great excuse to get away from the crowds and see parts of the Bay you might otherwise miss.
Good for: Active days, nature lovers and seeing the coastline from a different angle.
Some of the best bits of Jervis Bay are below the surface.
Local, family-run Woebegone Dive offers freediving, scuba diving and snorkelling experiences throughout Jervis Bay Marine Park, from learning the basics through to exploring with experienced local guides.
With clear water, rocky reefs and an incredible variety of marine life, getting underwater gives you a completely different perspective on the Bay.
Good for: Ocean lovers, adventurous types and anyone keen to see what’s happening beneath the surface.
Every year, humpback whales migrate along the NSW coast, and Jervis Bay is a spectacular place to see them.
Jervis Bay Wild runs whale-watching cruises during the migration season, heading out through the Bay and beyond the heads in search of these incredible visitors.
Outside whale season, their cruises are also a great way to see Jervis Bay from the water, with dolphins, dramatic cliffs, secluded beaches and plenty of local wildlife along the way.
Good for: Families, visitors to the Bay and anyone who never gets tired of seeing a whale.
You don’t need to book an experience to have a pretty great day around here.
Swim at one of Jervis Bay’s famously white beaches, walk the coastline, explore Booderee National Park, wander around Huskisson, or simply find a quiet patch of sand and do absolutely nothing for a while.
That’s part of the appeal of Jervis Bay: you can pack a weekend full of things to do, or make doing very little the entire point.
