About Jervis Bay
Jervis Bay is a very special place yet is off the beaten tourist route. It is mostly known to locals due to the area being distant from an Australian city. It is however the closest coastline from the inland city of Canberra, but not being on its doorstep leaves the bay without masses of tourists. Dubbed "J Bay" it possesses a number of national parks including the bay itself which was given protected status due to its beauty, cultural significance and natural features.
The coastline in Jervis Bay has the clearest water coupled with the whitest sand in the whole of Australia. The sand is so white that it is almost impossible to capture the true colours when photographing the beaches due to excessive reflected light.
J Bay is home to dolphins and whales, and is a great place for diving and fishing. Another place of interest besides the beaches is Booderee National Park, an area of natural bush land and bird life situated a short distance inland.
