Myola on Jervis Bay

Myola is a quiet coastal village consisting of a single street on the northern shore of Jervis Bay. Here, Currambene Creek flows into the bay; the northern shore and creek mouth provide specific geographic reference points for the village’s location.

Landscape and times of day

The landscape offers views of bushland, the creek and the sea. There are also opportunities to watch the sunrise and sunset. Together, these provide several landscape features and two times of day to guide your stay. Sunrise offers a reason to take an early look at the surroundings, while sunset offers a later one. If landscape impressions are important to your travel decision, both times of day provide a concrete point of reference for planning your day. There are two distinct focuses to choose between when planning your day: views at sunrise or sunset, and activities on, in or by the water.

Activities in Jervis Bay

In Jervis Bay, you can swim, fish, sail and surf in Myola. The bay is the common point of reference, but the activities have different focuses: swimming and surfing take you directly into the water, sailing is an activity on the bay, and fishing adds another pastime by the water. This lets you distinguish between activities in, on and by the water when planning your day. These options offer several reasons to include the bay in your daily plans, without limiting your stay to just one activity.

Getting your bearings in the area

There are shops in the nearby towns of Callala Bay and Callala Beach. These towns are convenient reference points in the area for running errands. This allows you to distinguish between the village’s location and shopping options in the two nearby towns as you organise your travel plans.

Ferry service and cultural significance

The Husky Ferry connects Myola and Huskisson across Currambene Creek; a regular service is listed for weekends. The ferry service therefore links two named places, while the creek’s mouth at the bay defines Myola’s geographic location. If you plan to use the service, check its current operation before travelling.

There is a site at the southern end of Catherine Street. This site is significant to Aboriginal people’s culture and heritage. This connection adds a cultural dimension to getting your bearings in Myola, alongside the landscape and water activities. Its location at the southern end of Catherine Street provides a specific geographic reference point. If you also assess destinations by their cultural connections, this is one of the features you can take into account when deciding whether to visit Myola.
