12-14 May 2023
By SIMON WILKES
Nestled on the picturesque south coast of New South Wales, Jervis Bay is a haven for sea kayaking enthusiasts. With its abundant wildlife, recommended camping sites, varied open water conditions, and popularity as a favourite location for Club paddling weekends, Jervis Bay offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and thrilling adventures on the water.
Thanks folks for a great skills weekend at Jervis Bay—definitely to be done again! Always lots of great lessons learned:
- Discovering a great place to stay…
- The value and ease of signing-in with local marine rescue…
- The mysteries surrounding the mussel farm…
And so much more!
Handy tips
- Places to stay: We’ve had a great time at the Jervis Bay Holiday Park. It’s waterfront, quiet and super-organised.
- Staying safe: Before heading out for a paddle, checking in with Marine Rescue. They’re super friendly and helpful.
- Paddling routes: Great recommendations can be found in the Waterways Guide.
- Local maps: Be sure to download these free marine charts.
