Greenfield Beach, Jervis Bay: Why visit this Vincentia beach?

One of several beaches in Vincentia, Greenfield Beach is worth visiting for the white sands, picnic area, snorkelling and walk through Jervis Bay National Park to Hyams Beach.

Greenfield Beach, Jervis Bay, is one of several excellent beaches in Vincentia, New South Wales. It’s smaller and less well-known than nearby Hyams Beach. But that tends to mean Greenfield Beach is quieter, too.

Vincentia lies at the southern end of Moona Moona Creek from Huskisson, the main activity hub in Jervis Bay. Greenfield Beach is in the southern part of Vincentia, south of Plantation Point.

How to get to Greenfield Beach, Jervis Bay

Access is via Sutton Street, but it also where the road ends and gives way to the Jervis Bay National Park.

Greenfield Beach is not one of the biggest Jervis Bay beaches – it’s about 350 metres long. But it does have the trademark Jervis Bay white sand.

Greenfield Beach is also highly regarded for its snorkelling.

Greenfield Beach picnic area

There’s also a family-friendly vibe, spurred largely by the picnic area just behind the beach. There are free barbecues at Greenfield Beach, while information panels provide enlightenment on the flora, fauna and national park.

This Vincentia Beach may be two beaches north of Hyams Beach, but getting between the two by road requires an annoyingly long detour. A much better connection is on foot, courtesy of the White Sands Walk.

White Sands Walk to Hyams Beach

The White Sands Walk officially starts at Nelsons Beach, the first beach south of Plantation Point. It then dips into Blenheim Beach before reaching Greenfield Beach.

Most visitors, however, only tackle the Greenfield Beach to Hyams Beach leg. Heading past Chinamans Beach, this leg of the White Sands Walk is around 1.7km long, and should take you just over 20 minutes.

Other excellent beaches in Jervis Bay include Callala Beach, Cave Beach, Murrays Beach and Iluka Beach. The latter three are inside the obscure Jervis Bay Territory.
