Jervis Bay Marine Park (JBMP) sits on the New South Wales South Coast, roughly 2.5 to 3 hours south of Sydney and an equal distance from Canberra. Covering approximately 100 kilometres of coastline from Kinghorn Point south to Bherwerre Beach, the park encompasses the township of Currarong, the entirety of Jervis Bay itself, and Wreck Bay. The bay is celebrated for its strikingly clear waters, protected beaches, expansive seagrass beds, and dramatic cliffs, headlands, and reef systems that extend both north and south of the bay entrance. These diverse environments — ranging from sheltered estuaries and sandy beaches to offshore canyons and deepwater banks — make Jervis Bay one of the most versatile and productive fishing destinations on the Australian east coast, drawing anglers of all skill levels year-round.
