About Vincentia
Vincentia is a coastal suburb on the shores of Jervis Bay on the New South Wales South Coast, located approximately 190 kilometres south of Sydney and within the Shoalhaven City Council area. With a population of around 3,870 and a median age of 50, the suburb draws a mix of retirees, holiday home owners, and sea-changers who are drawn by the area's renowned natural beauty and relaxed pace of life. The suburb covers nearly 13 square kilometres of coastal bushland, residential land, and foreshore.
Vincentia sits adjacent to Huskisson, the main township and hub of the Jervis Bay area, and benefits from Jervis Bay's famously crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches, including Hyams Beach — one of the whitest sand beaches in the world. Local amenities include a small shopping strip, cafés, and recreational facilities, while Booderee National Park nearby offers world-class bushwalking and snorkelling. There is no rail service; a private vehicle is essential, though the natural environment, community atmosphere, and proximity to the bay make Vincentia one of the South Coast's most sought-after lifestyle addresses.
Vincentia falls under postcode 2540 and is governed by Shoalhaven Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South Coast electorate.
