Best Time to Visit Jervis Bay

Jervis Bay is beautiful all year round, but the best time to visit depends on what you’d like to do. If you’re planning a beach trip with swimming and sunbathing, go between December and February. This is summer in Australia, so expect warm temperatures and lively beach vibes. However, it’s also the busiest time, especially during school holidays.

If you want to avoid crowds and still enjoy good weather, the shoulder seasons, March to May and September to November, are perfect. You’ll get pleasant weather without too many tourists around.

For whale watchers, plan your trip between May and November, which is when humpback whales pass through the bay. Dolphin watching is great any time of the year.
