NSW beach guide
Jervis Bay beaches and itinerary
A practical south coast guide for white sand beaches, calm water, wildlife cruises, and a relaxed two-day trip.
Jervis Bay is one of the best beach escapes in New South Wales. It works as a long weekend from Sydney or Canberra, with Huskisson as the easiest base and Booderee National Park adding quieter beaches and coastal walks.
Best beaches in Jervis Bay
- Hyams Beach
- Greenfield Beach
- Murrays Beach
- Cave Beach
- Huskisson Beach
- Nelsons Beach
Simple 2-day itinerary
Day one: arrive in Huskisson, swim at Hyams or Greenfield, then take a sunset walk or dolphin cruise. Day two: visit Booderee National Park, Murrays Beach, and Cave Beach before driving back.
Where to stay
Huskisson is the easiest base for food, cruises, and tours. Vincentia is quieter and close to several beaches. Campers should look at Booderee National Park sites and book early.
