Known for its laid-back coastal atmosphere, vibrant eateries and charming village vibes, the seaside hamlet of Huskisson can be found twenty minutes south-east of Nowra on the shores of the famous Jervis Bay. Surrounded by crystal clear water and white sand beaches, Huskisson is synonymous with natural beauty. The nearby industrial area brings a new life to the town, with breweries and distilleries, as well as fresh caught and baked local produce. Take a walk through the main street browsing boutiques and eateries with water views, settle in for the afternoon at one of the local pubs, or grab supplies for a beachside picnic.

WHAT TO DO IN HUSKISSON

There are no shortage of activities in this coastal paradise. Take a step back in time to Huskisson’s turn of the century boat building industry at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, where the historic Lady Denman Ferry is on display alongside local Indigenous history and an ever-changing program of exhibitions.  Whether you take a walk along the newly refurbished Mangrove Boardwalk or hire an e-bike and cruise along the fully accessible Round the Bay walking track, sit back and enjoy the historic picture house, or wander around the working fisherman’s wharf, it truly is a playground for all.

If the ocean is calling, you’ll have ample chance to answer. Jump aboard a dolphin or whale watching (May-November) cruise, swim with seals, take a guided kayaking tour across the pristine Marine Park, jump on a flight board, or start exploring your way through Shoalhaven’s 100 beaches.

From luxury self-contained, to hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, caravan parks, holiday cottages and safari-style glamping, there’s somewhere special for you to make your home-away-from-home in Huskisson.
