Steele's break
Edit SpotAbout
Really only a despersate break if you can't handle the lack of swell in the bay and your missus' constant reminder of how peaceful Jervis Bay is. A good escape if you don't have a car. Stay off Bowen Island though as it is a sanctuary and the national parks will nick ya.
Additional Info:
Follow signs from Jervis Bay to Murrays Beach, 5 min walk along track to beach then another 5 minute walk to the point. Entry from rocks is the shortest paddle but can be sketchy, paddle from beach is safer but much longer.
