Planning a visit to Blenheim Beach in Jervis Bay? This guide explains why Blenheim Beach stands out, plus what to expect from snorkelling, scenery and nearby walks.
Blenheim Beach, New South Wales, is one of the lesser-known beaches on Jervis Bay, but it might well be the most beautiful.
Murrays Beach is famous for its caves, Hyams Beach is famous for its white sand and Callala Beach impresses with its sheer length. But Blenheim Beach has that sense of wild discovery that’s difficult to match.
Blenheim Beach on the White Sands Walk in Jervis Bay
Technically part of the town of Vincentia, Blenheim Beach is surrounded by green bushland. It’s along White Sands Walk, which connects several Jervis Bay beaches. These include Chinamans Beach and Greenfield Beach, just to the south.
Blenheim Beach is a small cove, only about 100 metres long. But the sand is white, the bushland setting is beautiful and there is some fantastic snorkelling to be done just offshore. There’s a lot of marine life at this Vincentia beach, and it offers some of the best snorkelling in Jervis Bay.
Surfing at Blenheim Beach, Vincentia
Don’t expect great surfing at Blenheim Beach. Swell is usually mediocre, and the jutting headlands either side offer a decent degree of protection.
That said, if conditions are right and the swell gets up, there are some surfable waves here.
Facilities at Blenheim Beach: Picnic area and family-friendly features
Just off White Sands Walk, amid the bushland, are a picnic area and children’s playground. This makes Blenheim Beach a reasonably family-friendly spot if you want to take the kids along for a few hours.
The beach is a 6km drive south of Huskisson, the main town on Jervis Bay.
