1. Sailing
Learn to sail on the blue waters of Jervis Bay at Callala Bay with the Jervis Bay Sailing Club and their mixed fleet of twenty sailing boats and experienced trainers. Established ten years ago, they welcome all sailors from the novice to the experienced. With a boat ramp and jetty, Callala Bay is a great base to explore the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay, so if you already have the skills and the boat, come down and enjoy the sailing – many of our properties have parking for boats, so you’ll be welcome in the Shoalhaven.
2. Callala Beach
Just south of Callala Bay is gorgeous Callala Beach, the longest beach in Jervis Bay, and backed by a reserve with barbecues and picnic tables. Like most beaches in Jervis Bay, it has the beautiful, brilliantly white sand and aqua blue waters that are perfect for gentle swimming and fishing. At the northern end of the beach is a reserve and a small creek inlet behind a rocky reef which provides a sheltered swimming spot at high tide. Take a book and sunbake for as long as you like, or have a picnic down on the sand.
3. Fishing
If you’re looking to see what bites in Jervis Bay while you’re there, bring your rod and find everything from squid, whiting, flathead and bream off the jetty at Callala Bay. You can throw a line right into the South Pacific Ocean in most areas of Callala Beach, as the waves coming into Jervis Bay are so gentle as to be almost non-existent, and you can find all sorts of aquatic creatures coming right up to the shore.
4. Lunch at Club Callala
The go-to casual dining lunch and dinner spot of the area, Club Callala contains the Beach & Bay Bistro Callala, open every day for lunch. While you’re there, have a game of friendly, easy golf and play your choice of nine or eighteen holes. The course is fantastic for learners, where plenty of native wildlife roams around including kangaroos. It is a top spot for social groups as there is a large undercover barbecue area and a bistro on the premises to purchase lunch or dinner, and a courtesy bus that operates all week long.
5. Callala Markets
On the second Saturday of every month, get along to the Callala Markets, a local community market that actively raises funds and supports local community groups. Browse homewares, bespoke jewellery, local pottery, handmade candles and crocheted items, and much, much more. Grab gifts and souvenirs to take home while supporting local creators and businesses and enjoying your morning coffee.
