Exploring
Jervis Bay

New South Wales

Our family recently embarked on a two-week caravan adventure, traveling to Jervis Bay as a family. This stunning coastal region in New South Wales offered us the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We split our stay between two incredible locations: Currarong and Bream Beach, each offering unique experiences and beautiful scenery.

Week One: Currarong

For our first week, we set up camp at Holiday Haven Currarong. This fantastic caravan park quickly became a family favorite with its spacious sites, refreshing pool and splash park, playground, and mini-golf course. The park’s family-friendly atmosphere made it an ideal base for our explorations.

During our time at Currarong, we discovered several amazing spots:

  • Currarong Rock Pools: These were the most incredible rock pools we have ever swum in—absolutely stunning and perfect for a day of family fun.
  • Abrahams Bosom Beach: A cute and quiet family beach, ideal for a relaxing day by the water.
  • Culburra Beach: Known for its surf break, it offered a great spot for some wave action.
  • Callala Bay: With its clear water and white sand, this bay was a highlight of our trip.
  • Beecroft Peninsula: Home to Honeymoon Bay, this area was perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and having a great family day. It’s worth noting that these beaches are only open on weekends due to it being an army training facility.

Week Two: Bream Beach

Our second week was spent at Bream Beach Holiday Park, a quirky park filled with wildlife. One memorable moment was when a kangaroo hopped into our van—a funny story now, though it was quite a surprise for Ella at the time!

From Bream Beach, we explored several fantastic locations:

  • Huskisson and Vincentia: These charming towns offered beautiful beaches and a laid-back vibe.
  • Hyams Beach: World-famous for its perfect white sand and stunning water, this beach lived up to its reputation.
  • Greenpatch Beach and Murrays Beach: Located within the Jervis Bay Territory, these beaches were pristine and breathtaking.
  • Caves Beach: Surfing here was a unique experience. A 200m walk from the car park, past kangaroos and a campsite, led us to one of the most secluded and raw south-facing beaches we have ever seen.

Getting to Jervis Bay

Traveling to Jervis Bay as a family was straightforward and navigating the area was easy. We recommend taking the time to explore both the inside and outside of the bay, as each offers great experiences. The roads can be a bit narrow, so staying safe and taking your time is key.

Our family caravan adventure to Jervis Bay was a blend of beautiful beaches, exciting activities, and memorable moments. It’s a des
