Myola: a quiet coastal village on Jervis Bay

Myola is a quiet coastal village on the northern shore of Jervis Bay. Currambene Creek flows into the bay here. Bushland, the creek and the sea shape the views; you can also watch both the sunrise and sunset.

Between the creek and the bay

Currambene Creek flows into Jervis Bay at Myola. The creek and the bay therefore meet right in the village, while bushland adds another landscape to the views. You can watch both the sunrise and sunset. If you enjoy pairing the start of the day with a view, you can make sunrise a moment of its own; sunset is another option at the end of the day. These two viewing times offer a different focus from activities in the bay and can shape your plans for the day without requiring a set itinerary.

Activities on Jervis Bay

Visitors to Myola can swim, fish, sail and surf in Jervis Bay. These options appeal to different interests on the water and mean your stay need not revolve around a single activity. When planning your holiday, it helps to decide what mix you would like: should an activity in the bay be the main focus, would you like to make room for several interests, or would you also like to prioritise the landscape views? This lets you choose a location that suits your own travel preferences without setting a fixed daily schedule.

Cultural significance and practical information

Aboriginal culture and heritage also have particular significance in Myola. A site at the southern end of Catherine Street is mentioned in connection with a place of importance to Aboriginal culture and heritage. This adds a distinct cultural aspect to the way the village can be experienced, alongside the coast, bay and activities. The nearby villages of Callala Bay and Callala Beach have shops. If practical errands matter when choosing where to stay, these two places offer a specific point of reference. This divides the choice of location into two questions: what character would you like right where you are staying, and what nearby options are important to you?

Ferry service and choosing accommodation

When choosing accommodation in Myola, it is also worth considering how you would like to experience the bay and which connections matter to your travel plans. The Husky Ferry connects Myola and Huskisson via Currambene Creek. A regular weekend service is described; check whether the ferry is running on the weekend of your trip. If you plan to visit both Myola and Huskisson, this connection is one point to consider before settling on your accommodation. To decide whether Myola is the right holiday destination for you, weigh its quiet village character, the kind of connection you want to have with Jervis Bay, and how important these connections are to you. These points relate to different aspects of choosing a location; not all of them need to be equally important for your trip.
