About Jervis Bay
Jervis Bay, on the New South Wales south coast, is home to Hyams Beach, often cited as having some of the whitest sand in the world against brilliant turquoise water. The bay's calm, sheltered waters host pods of resident bottlenose dolphins year-round and migrating whales seasonally, while national parks along the shoreline protect bushland walking trails and pristine coves.
