Once you hit the waters edge you are actually in a mangrove flat and on the day I did my walk the weather conditions were warm and still, and the tide was at it lowest. There is one short section as you approach the beach where the grass gets a bit tall and while I didn’t see or hear any snakes I was definitely paying attention at this stage. The management trail is designed to take a vehicle and is easy to follow. There is no on-trail signage for this walk and you just need to follow the management track down to the water and then turn right along the beach. There is some information signage at the car park but your best information option is to head towards the toilet facilities – not far beyond this and immediately adjacent to the entry road you will come across the signage that marks the trailhead and shows the direction you’ll walk. You should note that at the time I did this walk Google Maps showed this walk at the Carama Walking Track while the National Park very clearly identifies this walk as the Hare Bay Walking Track.Īs you enter the car park area you will drive past the trail start located around about 40 metres from the parking area itself and not far from the toilet facilities and picnic area. The car park isn’t huge and has capacity for around 15 cars so its best to get there earlier in the day if you are walking on the weekend to avoid the crowds. On the day I did this walk Goggle Maps was a bit confused because at some point the NSW Parks Service has made some changes to the internal roads so at least from the map’s perspective I appeared to be going bush even though I was definitely in a signposted, abeit dirt road taking me to my destination. Heading south from Nowra turn off toward the township of Currarong and follow the Google Map to the Red Point Picnic area which is your starting destination for this walk. While I am very familiar with the water side of the bay and have visited Currarong on a number of occasions, this was my first opportunity to do some walking in this area and on the day I visited I had the perfect conditions. While many people will know the Huskisson/Hyams Beach side, Currarong is less commonly visited having very limited residential and town space. Jervis Bay National Park is a bit quirky in some respects in that it sits on both sides of Jervis Bay.
