Callala Bay is a relaxed bayside spot at Callala Bay on Jervis Bay, with a cafe, shade and calm water for a paddle. Dogs are allowed off-leash in the designated area, so it is worth checking the on-site signage for the boundaries. There is sand, parking and water access on hand. A pleasant off-leash spot by the bay.
Callala Beach foreshore reserve between Callala Creek and Currambene Creek. 4pm-8am (1 Oct-30 Apr); 3pm-10am (1 May-30 Sept). Prohibited between Parkes Cres and Centre St and southern end south of Beach St car park at Myola.
The whole Callala Bay area is one of the best places in Jervis bay. It offers almost everything a family seeking a fun weekend or an extended period of stay away from the madness of city life. The beaches are pristine and quiet, the water is almost always calm with almost no currents. There are good walking tracks, picnic spots, and other places to visit within a short drive.
Beautiful beach with crystal clear waters and not populated during hot times, nature at its best
Beautiful and peaceful. Close to interesting sites like the lighthouse and Jarvis Bay
Went there on a dull day but it was still a beautiful place. The sand is whitish and firm to walk on, the beach slopes gently and is generally calm and safe for families. There were a few groups of people near where we parked the car, but on the beach itself, very few.
Callahan Bay is beautiful, there's no other way to describe it. It's about 25 minutes from our place but it's always nice to go there. The water is lovely and clear and, where we go, is mostly protected from the wind and there's even a couple of shady spots to sit when it's really hot out. There are a few shops if you need to get lunch as well.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
