When to visit

The best time to visit Jervis Bay is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, spring and autumn also offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Winter, from June to August, can be chilly but is a great time for whale watching as the whales migrate along the coast.

Getting around

Getting around Jervis Bay is best done by car, as public transportation options are limited. Visitors can also explore the area by bike or on foot, especially in the town of Huskisson where many attractions are within walking distance. Boat tours are a popular way to explore the bay and its surrounding islands, offering a unique perspective of the region.

Traveller tips

Don't forget to bring sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong Australian sun. Make sure to book any tours or activities in advance, especially during peak season. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as dolphins and kangaroos, but remember to observe them from a safe distance. Try the local seafood, including fresh oysters and fish and chips, for a taste of the region's culinary delights. Lastly, be prepared for changing weather conditions, as it can be unpredictable along the coast.
