Sydney to Batemans Bay road trip: Jervis Bay, Mollymook and Ulladulla
The best place to stop on the Sydney to Batemans Bay drive, however, is Jervis Bay. The turn off is at Falls Creek, just south of Nowra.
Jervis Bay is famous for its white sand beaches, such as Blenheim Beach and Greenfield Beach in Vincentia. Hyams Beach is the most famous, however – and justifiably.
Things to do in Jervis Bay include dolphin-watching cruises and whale-watching cruises from Huskisson, plus venturing into the little-known Jervis Bay Territory.
