Steamers Beach
Steamers Beach is one of Jervis Bay’s most remote and breathtaking coastal treasures, offering visitors an untouched slice of paradise away from the hustle and bustle of more populated beaches. Tucked away within the Booderee National Park, this secluded beach is framed by towering green cliffs and offers stunning views of golden sands stretching out into the crystal-clear waters of the bay. The untouched beauty and tranquility of Steamers Beach make it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful escape to reconnect with nature.
The beach is accessible via a scenic bushwalk, which starts from Steamers Beach car park and takes visitors on an immersive journey through the lush forest and heathlands of the national park. The 2.5 km trek through nature offers a rewarding view as you descend towards the crescent-shaped shoreline of Steamers Beach. The cliffs surrounding the beach provide a sense of isolation and serenity, enhancing the feeling of escape from the outside world.
Steamers Beach is known for its strong currents, so swimming is not recommended, but the sheer natural beauty of the location more than makes up for it. Instead, visitors are drawn to this beach for its tranquility, scenic views, and the chance to spot native wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, and various bird species. The unspoiled nature of the area, coupled with the picturesque landscape, makes it a popular destination for photographers, nature enthusiasts, and hikers alike.
The rugged cliffs and rock formations add to the beach’s dramatic and wild allure, providing plenty of spots to sit back and take in the coastal views. While Steamers Beach may not be the place for a leisurely swim, it’s an ideal location for those who enjoy long coastal walks, peaceful picnics, and the opportunity to experience one of Jervis Bay’s most stunning and lesser-known beaches.
Whether you’re an avid bushwalker or someone seeking a quiet retreat to admire the raw beauty of Jervis Bay, Steamers Beach offers a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
