About Hyams Beach
Hyams Beach is a small, iconic coastal locality on the shores of Jervis Bay, in the Shoalhaven local government area of New South Wales, approximately 195 kilometres south of Sydney. Renowned for having one of the whitest sands in the world, its pristine beaches attract visitors from across Australia and internationally. The permanent population is very small, with the area primarily used as a holiday and weekender destination.
The locality offers exceptional swimming, snorkelling and dolphin-watching in the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay Marine Park, one of Australia's most protected marine environments. A small general store and café serve visitors and locals alike, while nearby Vincentia and Huskisson provide broader retail and dining options. Hyams Beach suits those seeking a serene coastal escape with world-class natural beauty.
Hyams Beach falls under postcode 2540 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Unclassified (OT) electorate.
