Welcome to Jervis Bay, the jewel of the beautiful NSW South Coast. Close at hand are spectacular national parks, charming small towns, hidden creeks, natural bays, clear blue waters and white sandy beaches. The hinterland opens another door with rugged scenery, mountains, waterfalls, creeks and great bushwalking.

The most visited natural attraction, Greenpatch Beach has views that are spectacular and picturesque. The naval academy HMAS Creswell nestles serenely amongst the natural bush and sea landscape, creating quite a contrast.

Reputed to have the purest waters and the whitest sands in the world - Jervis Bay sets a high standard. Dolphins pay tribute to the fact by residing nearby, whales are also frequent visitors.

On the Southern Peninsula, Booderee National Park and the Botanic Gardens are just waiting to be explored. The National Park includes Green Patch Beach and other notable beauty spots such as Hole in the Wall, Bristol Point and Scottish Rocks.
