Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 621 reviews
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.
2. Booderee National Park

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.
3. White Sands Walk

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

This is a gem of an area along the NSW south coast. Many beaches and well defined trails through coastal bushland. All mostly free to enter. Includes rocky outcrops, sandy beaches, picnic areas, Jervis Bay views, plus extensive birdlife and occasional whale spotting in season. Good for all ages either solo, as couples, or families with kids. A host of nearby accommodation, food and retail.

This is a great introduction to the Jervis Bay Area. Aboriginal history is integrated throughout the museum. Make sure to visit the Lady Denham - it’s of the few remaining original Sydney Harbour ferries. It’s beautifully preserved. Really worthwhile.

Great area for young families... shallow creek water leading to the ocean... very clean. Easy to get to .
7. Cave Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
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.

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.
8. Murrays Beach

Murrays Beach inside Booderee National Park (which is inside Jervis Bay) faces north towards Bowen Island and the other side of the bay and is famous for its sparkling white sand and crystal clear water.

This beach is so beautiful and I had a relaxing swim in the turquoise water. It is in a national park with a payment booth but we got in for free today. Not sure why but we were given a free pass! Great morning here.

Great ruins with interesting signs telling you the history of the area. Easy walk and great place to view whales from land. Make sure you turn right half way along the path from the car park to get spectacular cliff views to to south too. Toilets in the car park are stinky but convenient!
