Home to some of the world’s whitest sands, crystal-clear waters and frolicking marine life, Jervis Bay is the place to go for aquatic adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a first-timer, the tranquillity and beauty of Jervis Bay create an unforgettable paddle-boarding experience that will linger in your memory long after you’ve glided back to the shore.
How do I go paddleboarding at Jervis Bay?
Paddle-boarding in Jervis Bay is an immersion into the natural wonders that define this coastal paradise. Jervis Bay Sea Sports has one of the best local reps for paddle boarding, offering a wide variety of SUP and kayak options. Hireable for between two to 24 hours, your paddle board experience comes complete with an instructor to bestow tips and tricks as you and your family or friends head out.
As you paddle around the bay’s famous natural landmarks like Point Perpendicular and Honeymoon Bay, don’t be surprised if dolphins become your companions. Sea birds, rays and even the occasional seal might appear, turning your paddle-boarding expedition into a wildlife safari on the water.
What other ways are there to get out on the water at Jervis Bay?
When you want paddling assistance rather than going solo, monster stand-up paddleboards can be hired, accommodating up to six. These are perfect if you want to muck around with your kids rather than head out on a serious glide.
For a glass-bottomed view into the shimming azure depths beneath you, single or double clear kayaks will allow you to see the vibrant marine life below. Jervis Bay’s visibility is so remarkable that you might find yourself paddling over vast schools of fish.
And what can I do inland?
Back on dry land, neighbouring Booderee National Park is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Explore a network of walking trails that meander through lush eucalypt forests and coastal heathlands. The park is home to diverse flora and fauna, so be super-vigilant for kangaroos, wallabies and a variety of bird species.
For some R&R, hit up Booderee National Park’s pristine beaches, like Green Patch and Murrays Beach. Here that incredible white sand meets the bushland in a stunning fusion of landscapes.
Before you depart, head to Cambewarra Lookout, just half an hour’s drive from Jervis Bay. From here, you’ll get magnificent panoramic vistas of the bay, the Shoalhaven River and the surrounding countryside. Snap stunning photographs, inhale that fresh mountain air and appreciate the vast beauty that stretches from the inland heights.
