Greenfield Beach

Greenfield Beach is a short beach inside famous Jervis Bay that is known by locals as having some of the whitest sand in the bay. Go for the day and enjoy the bbq area, or spend time birdwatching in the bushland behind the beach.

We walked to Greenfield Beach from Chinamens Beach, a wonderful well defined path through bushland with great coastal and water views. Facilities at Greenfield are well maintained, toilets and picnic area. The beach, mid week in November, is uncrowded, water is clear, sand is clean and plentiful, as was available parking. A beautiful part of NSW south coast.

Hyams Beach

Hyams beach is a long beach with spectacular white sand located in Jervis Bay. The best way to get there is to take the White Sands Walk from Greenfield Beach or Vincentia, that way you get to enjoy more than one of Jervis Bay’s spectacular white sand beaches.

The beach is beautiful. I can't get enough of it! There are public toilets at the car park. Car park spaces are very limited, so best to get there early.

Booderee National Park

Reviewed By Emanpee - Sydney, Australia

This is an extensive Commonwealth national park. Entrance fees apply that can be purchased at booth at entrance, or on line to save waiting as have separate priority drive through lane (recommended if visiting at holiday and other busy times). Suggest research beforehand as multiple beaches, gardens, walks and attractions within the park. In a most of the day visit we took in 3 of the 9 beaches, visited the ruins of Cape St George lighthouse, views from Governor Head and Stony Creek, plus the 5 km Munyunga Waraga Dhugen loop trail. Is a mix of bitumen sealed and unsealed roads throughout, but all suitable for 2WD. Now I know about this gem, will return to explore it a bit more.

White Sands Walk

Reviewed By AusFamily123 - Sydney, Australia

This is a beautiful walk that gives you a taste of the magic of Jervis Bay. You pass through bush land, around coastal headland, and along white sandy beaches. Takes about an hour ambling slowly with children. Plenty of places to stop and rest for toddlers. You finish up at the Hyams Beach Cafe which is a great pit stop for a cool drink or yummy lunch before you head back. Walk can be extended at either end to make it longer by adding Plantation Point at Vincentia end or Hyams Beach walk at other end. A fab idea for a windy or cold day if you’re in Jervis Bay with kids

Nelson Beach

Nelson is one of the quieter beaches in Jervis Bay. It has spectacular white sand and often has enough room to spread out with the family, as well as gentle waves for swimming and paddling. The beach runs from Plantation Point reserve in the north to Blenheim Beach in the south and forms part of the White Sands Walk which takes you to Hyams Beach.

Reviewed By WayneN795 - Sydney, Australia

Nelson Beach is along the coast only a few beaches before Hyams. In the Vincentia region. You have a very similar outlook to Hyams. A medium size beach you descend from the road side. Soft white sand, clear blue water. Perfect in the afternoon if you want a little shade. As the beaches aspect means you can get shade and sun. No amenities.

Cave Beach

Cave Beach is on the southern side of Booderee National Park. There is often good surf and big swell so the nearby campground attracts keen surfers and families who like the choice of the various surf and bay beaches that Booderee offers. It is also a fantastic spot to camp to see native Australian wildlife.

Reviewed By PaulofSydney - Sydney, Australia

We were there before Christmas and the beach was relatively quiet, with a group of people fishing and a few young families. It's a very nice beach and a small cave to look at. As one reviewer said, there are 2 tracks to the beach, taking you to both ends of the beach. We did both track as a loop. Highly recommended beach to visit and suitable for young kids.
