Photos of Jervis Bay

Jervis Bay is located 150 kilometers south of Sydney and is a natural harbor 16 kilometers long from north to south and 10 kilometers wide from east to west. It is a suitable place for scuba diving (snorkeling) and recreational fishing, and there are also scallop farms in the area. Jervis Bay is also an ideal location for whale watching. Since the exit of Jervis is on the north-south migration route of whales, some whales will choose to rest in Jervis Bay halfway. Most of the cetaceans seen in Jervis Bay are humpback whales, which migrate along Australia's east coast between June and November. In addition to humpback whales, southern right whales, killer whales, fake killer whales, minke whales, and sometimes even blue whales are also found.
