So much to do at Huskisson and Jervis Bay

Jervis Bay, first sighted by Captain Cook but named in 1791 after British Admiral John Jervis, is Australia's deepest and clearest natural harbour. North-south the bay is 16 kilometres and east-west 10 kilometres. The amazing clarity of its water is largely due to the fact that there are no rivers flowing into the bay.

The Jervis Bay Marine Park is an area of unique natural beauty and home to dolphins, seals, penguins and countless species of birds, fish and other creatures. Huskisson is home base for not to be missed year-round dolphin watching cruises (guaranteed sightings or a free return cruise) and whale watching cruises (from May to November).

There are twenty or so beaches scattered around Jervis Bay including Huskisson Beach and the 3 kilometres of nearby Collingwood Beach. There's also a large salt water pool in the heart of Huskisson. Just a short trip away is Hyams Beach, said to have the whitest sand in the world.

Huskisson itself is a bustling holiday town which, apart from the whale and dolphin watching cruises, offers kayak and canoe hire; bicycle hire; cafes, restaurants and clubs; bush walks; fishing and diving charters; the Lady Denman (former Sydney ferry) museum; not to mention the famous Husky Pub and the delightful Husky Pictures cinema. Nearby there's golf, horse riding and some wineries that are well worth a visit.
