Jervis Bay in a page
Jervis Bay became famous for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear water. But the area also enjoys incredible bushland, in particular the Booderee National Park, and the often undiscovered and underrated St Georges Basin.
In the south, around Huskisson and Vincentia, you’ll find most of the Bay’s sheltered beaches and the Booderee National Park. The park has incredible bush walks and beaches, whilst Husky and Vincentia are blessed with easy walking tracks and white sand galore. Huskisson is the main town in Jervis Bay, best for cafés, shops and activities; there are local stores and a shopping centre in Vincentia, and small shops scattered through the villages around St Georges Basin.
At the north of Jervis Bay you’ll find Callala Bay, Callala Beach and Myola. Myola is near the mouth of Currambene Creek, just across the water from Huskisson; the creek is an amazing place to explore by boat, kayak or the small local ferry. Further towards the northern headland, visit Point Perpendicular lighthouse and Honeymoon Bay on the Beecroft Peninsula.
St Georges Basin is a beautiful lake, perfect for boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming: a peaceful, tranquil spot surrounded by a few small suburbs. Perhaps most spectacular are its sunsets over the water and its direct access to the Booderee National Park.
