Jervis Bay Marine Park

Spanning over 100km of coastline and adjacent ocean, the Jervis Bay Marine Park extends from Kinghorn Point in the north to Sussex Inlet in the south and includes most of Jervis Bay. The bay offers beaches, rocky platforms and reefs, extensive seagrass beds, estuaries, deep-water cliffs with caves and crystal-clear waters. It is home to a unique mix of tropical and temperate species including the weedy sea-dragon, eastern blue devil fish, whale, bottlenose dolphins, little penguin, fur seal and the endangered grey nurse shark.

Indigenous people have had strong ties to the Jervis Bay area over thousands of years and there are many sites of cultural significance to them within the marine park.

Scuba diving, swimming, surfing, boating and fishing are all popular. Picnic facilities and walking tracks are available in the surrounding Jervis Bay National Park.
