Why you'll love it
Jervis Bay is on the New South Wales South Coast, about three hours south of Sydney, and is known for some of the whitest sand in Australia. It scores 10 out of 10 for beaches, and 9 for nature and safety, with calm, clear water inside the bay.
The best time to visit Jervis Bay is December to March, when the water is at its warmest for swimming and snorkelling.
Swim at Hyams Beach, Greenfield Beach or Murrays Beach in Booderee National Park, and walk the White Sands Walk between beaches. From Huskisson, take a dolphin-watching cruise or hire a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. The bay's marine park is home to bottlenose dolphins all year, with humpback whales passing in winter and spring.
Jervis Bay suits families, couples and anyone who wants a quiet beach holiday within a drive of Sydney or Canberra.
