2 to 3 hours south of Sydney by car – a bay even more splendid than the Sydney harbour and mostly unconstructed. Rent a house for the week-end or a couple of days and enjoy – snorkeling, lots of dolphins (from a cruise or even from the beach), kangaroos (in Jervis bay but a lot on the road from Sydney), and beautiful beaches with white sand. Add to that beautiful walks and wild beaches in Booderee national park.
