Park Profile: Huskisson Beach

Jervis Bay is the Shoalhaven’s prominent marine and coastal playground – its impossibly clean sands and sparkling water rivalling any location along the entire NSW coast. And at the centre of it all, Huskisson is its unofficial “capital city”. Of course, with a laid back holiday vibe and walkable proportions, Husky is more village than metropolis. But it still has everything you need – including somewhere to stay, within easy walking distance and sitting alongside its namesake stretch of sand. Welcome to Holiday Haven Huskisson Beach!

Your Holiday Haven

You’ll have to excuse Holiday Haven Huskisson Beach if it seems a little smug – but you would be too if you got to look out on such uninterrupted views of Jervis Bay all year round! And the choice of accommodation makes great use of this coastal aspect, with many cabins offering ocean views that you’ll love waking up to.

Throughout the park, you’ll find no less than a dozen different types of cabin – some even doggo friendly at certain times of the year – with most cabins catering to 4 or 6 guests, and the family suite capable of handling up to 8. Meanwhile, campers and caravans are also well taken care of, with ensuite sites, powered and unpowered sites set among shady trees and native bushland. There’s even a powered site for those turning up after hours, for complete peace of mind!

Kids big and small will gravitate to the playground, swimming pool, tennis court and climbing park, while everyone can make a splash in the bay thanks to SUP and kayak hire. Cycling and walking is also a great way to get around – with the Huskisson to Vincentia path easy to access and wide flat roads and paths in each direction. Bliss!

Whether it’s a lazy day at the beach, a chill with your favourite book, waterfront BBQ or an action-packed adventure, Husky Beach is the ideal home base for your holiday fun!

Local Attractions

With a name like “Huskisson Beach”, you’re well placed to take advantage of everything Husky has to offer – from delicious coffee and gelato dished out of a vintage 1954 caravan at Merciers, to lunch at the waterfront Huskisson Hotel (since 1932 – same as the Sydney Harbour Bridge!) to local craft beer at the ridiculously likeable and sustainable Jervis Bay Brewing Co. Depending on the time of day, you may also find yourself sipping coffees or cocktails at Serotonin on Currambene. Alternatively, DIY your picnic or beachside feast by stocking up at the Huskisson Markets (2nd Sunday of the month) – a bounty of fresh and local fare.

Need to burn off some of those delicious meals? Hire a bike and explore the coast on two wheels. Of course, if you’d rather ride on water than land, take a trip into the future with a gravity-defying e-foil board via Future Rides Jervis Bay! 

When in Husky, you’ll also find it hard to resist the siren song (it’s actually a dolphin and whale song) of joining one of the award-winning cruises that take you to all corners of the bay all year round. Jervis Bay Wild and Dolphin Watch Cruises have both been offering tours for more than 25 years – guaranteed to be a memorable day out!

But perhaps you’d rather have the boat to yourself? For a private charter sailboat for the day or even an overnight stay, Huskisson offers options to suit your budget and itinerary – including Huskisson Sailing Charters, Jervis Bay Sailing Charters and luxury sailing with Discover Jervis Bay. 

And for options in any weather, step up and enjoy indoor rock climbing, explore the local maritime museum and take in a film at the historic local movie theatre. All within walking distance of your accommodation!

Husky has been welcoming holidaymakers for decades – but you’re one of the lucky ones who get to experience it at arguably its most exciting, innovative and thriving best. With Holiday Haven Huskisson Beach providing the perfectly-placed “doorstep” to experience everything the bay has to offer, you can be sure of memories to last a lifetime.
