Callala Bay is on the northern end of Jervis Bay in the Shoalhaven region. Start with the shore and village at an unhurried pace, then decide whether a short walk or time by the water suits the day.
Make the bay the focus
The Destination NSW Callala Bay guide (opens in a new tab) places the village beside Jervis Bay and describes the nearby coast and walking opportunities. Pick one area to explore rather than trying to cover the wider region in a single visit.
Treat the shoreline with care
Shoalhaven City Council includes Callala Bay wharf in its coastal and estuary monitoring (opens in a new tab). Conditions along the coast change over time, so follow signs, use formal access points and check the weather before spending extended time on the water.
Check the road before you go
For wet-weather travel, consult Council’s flood-affected-roads information (opens in a new tab) before driving. It includes Callala Bay Road and Callala Beach Road, and is the right place to check current official updates rather than relying on old route advice.
