The Southern Peninsula of Jervis Bay is home to the beautiful Booderee National Park and Botanic Gardens.
Jervis Bay is one of the true gems of the New South Wales southeast region. Its breathtaking beauty, rich cultural and natural significance have long been recognised by locals as well as domestic and overseas visitors.
Its most famous beach, Hyams, is said to possess one of Australia’s whitest sand.
The main town is Huskisson, where you can take a dolphin-watching cruise, go on a fishing trip or browse the Aboriginal arts and craft centre. The sweeping water views of Jervis Bay with its glistening sunlit colours of aqua and blue are not to be missed.
