Just north of Hyams Beach, this smaller beach has the same enviable white sands and incredible clear waters minus the crowds. During high season, it’s worth heading to this quieter spot to enjoy all that Jervis Bay has to offer. The water is safe for swimming and the coastal path that runs along it takes you to Greenfield Beach. Amenities: toilets. Best for: swimming; water sports.
This modest white lighthouse may be decommissioned but its scenic approach, winding through natural scrub and a spattering of colorful wildflowers, and unrivaled views and whale-watching on Jervis Bay make it a must-visit if you are nearby. Built in 1898 with a concrete-block construction that was a first at the time, Point Perpendicular Lighthouse was a working lighthouse until 1993. The best time to visit is at sunrise when the skies swirl with purples and pinks. You'll often see dolphins playing in the waters below the dramatic cliff’s edge.
