THE TOWN
Currarong is a small fishing village with only 250 people and surrounded by 14 wonderful beaches, the Jervis Bay National Park & the Jervis Bay Marine Park. Located on the “north head” of Jervis Bay (The Beecroft Peninsular), Currarong is one of the few places in NSW where you can sit on a North West facing beach looking at mountains across the water, and watch the sun set over the ocean.
The unspoilt Currarong Creek and Beach (100m away or 2 minute walk) is very safe for children and protected from Southerlies and the other end of this beach (Warrain) gets good surf. Abrahams Bosom beach (900m or 10 minute walk) is surrounded by beautiful national park – it feels like you are 100 miles from the nearest town.
Whales put on a show as they migrate along this beautiful coastline, dolphin pods cruise past the beach and the local pelicans swoop overhead. On early morning walks Kangaroos graze at the edge of the village.
Between these two beaches is a beautiful rock pool shaped just like a big lap pool where you can work off that BBQ in the crystal clear water. Just off this pool there is excellent snorkeling with the turtles on turtle reef.
If the North Easterly wind springs up, a three to five minute drive on dirt tracks will take you to the white sands & sparkling water of Jervis Bay's Cabbage Tree Beach, North & South Long Beach, Bindijine Beach & Honeymoon Bay.
The Beecroft Headland offers fantastic hiking along well-cut trails (which start on the edge of town) to 100m cliffs overlooking the ocean – some of the tallest in NSW. Small deserted beaches are dotted along the way and you can see the shipwreck of the Merimbula on a rock shelf. You can catch black marlin off the rocks.
