Just three hours south of the Australian metropolis of Sydney is a remote bay that's home to some of the most beautiful white-sanded beaches that are not on anyone's radar. Well, at least it isn't on most tourists' radar. Australians in-the-know, flock down to Hyams Beach, Wreck Bay, Huskisson, and other phenomenal remote beach towns in Jervis Bay.

The undefinable value of Jervis Bay is something that all tourists need to know before booking a trip to Australia. The 102-kilometer oceanic bay is filled with tiny residential beach towns, popular vacation destinations, and a boatload of swimming, kayaking, and whale and dolphin watching opportunities. If you're already in Sydney or other parts of the state of New South Wales, Jervis Bay is a must.

Without further ado, here is what to expect when visiting the gorgeous Jervis Bay In Australia's New South Whales.

10 Jervis Bay Is Home To Some Of The Most Exclusive Beaches In The World... And Tons of Hot Tourists

While there are many beaches around the world that are great for escaping civilization as well as beaches that are amazing for people watching, the beaches at Jervis Bay are both. They are neither too remote nor too busy. However, they do provide beach-goers with many opportunities to spot a hot tourist or two. And if you're not interested in seeing hotties at Murrays Beach, Moona Moona Creek, Hyams Beach, or Blenheim Beach, you can certainly enjoy the fantastic scenery.

9 It's A Safe Place To Enjoy The Warm Australian Waters

Tourism in Jervis Bay is so popular due to the world-famous white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters that are amongst the safest in the world. This is partly because of how protected all of the beach communities are within the large bay itself. While there are sharks in the bay, most are small and remain at a safe distance away from humans as well as the copious dolphins and whales that dominate the marine life.

8 Hyams Beach Is Complete With The World's Whitest Sand And Luxury Beachfront Rentals, But Just One Store

Hyams Beach is nestled in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, and is considered as having some of the whitest beach sands in the world. Many visitors stay in one of the many B&Bs, rental units, or hotels in the area. But some vacationers, as well as locals, like to hike the White Sands Walk from Greenfield Beach or Vincentia to get to this absolute paradise on Earth. While there are many places one can stay there, including luxury beachfront homes, there's only one cafe store in the village. However, it's known for having some of the best food in the entire region.

7 Jervis Bay Town of Huskisson Is Ridiculously Cute And Home To Some Superb Dolphin Cruises

Huskisson is a bustling coastal town in Jervis Bay that's rich in shipbuilding heritage. This means that it's one of the easiest places to pop on a boat on the entire region, according to VisitNSW. Jumping in a speed boat or kayak is made easy due to their marina. But it's their dolphin cruises that they're really known for. You can book a tour with Jervis Bay Wild and Dolphin Watch Cruises to enjoy the sunsets, and get up close and personal with the bay's resident dolphins.

6 The Bay Is Filled With Incredible Hikes Including The 16KM Trek To The Exclusive Steamers Beach

Steamers Beach in Boodree National Park is notoriously hard to get to. It's most easily reached by a 3km hike, but the full-hike circuit is 16km. While it's not as popular as Hyam's or Murray's Beach, locals know it as one of the best beaches in Jervis Bay. However, due to its location on the southern-most outer rim of the bay, the area is right on the open ocean and attracts tons of sharks. Therefore, swimming is not allowed, according to LondonerInSydney. But the views, sand, and tranquility are more than worth the workout to get there.

5 It's Really Tough To Get A Camping Spot In Jervis Bay During The Summer... But It's Worth It

According to LondonerInSydney, it's really challenging to get a legal camping spot anywhere in Jervis Bay during the summer. Obviously, this is due to high demand since there are so many outdoor activities to be had in the region. For summer camping in the region, you need to enter your name into a ballot system through Parks Australia by August to hope for a spot during the summer holidays in November - February. However, camping is a lot easier in the winter season, and the waters are still warm enough to swim in.
