Explore Jervis Bay, Other Territories, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Jervis Bay, OT map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jervis Bay, Other Territories, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Jervis Bay.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Jervis Bay unfurls along the South Coast of New South Wales, a vast expanse of sapphire water cradled by a necklace of pure white sand. It lies 83.2 km south-south-west of Wollongong, NSW (from Wollongong, NSW: bearing 193°T), and is situated 7.8 km south-east of Sanctuary Point. The air here carries the clean, sharp tang of salt, a constant reminder of the ocean's boundless presence, and the surrounding landscape is a symphony of coastal heath, whispering gums, and rugged sandstone outcrops that plunge dramatically towards the sea. The light, especially as it softens towards evening, casts a luminous glow across the water, turning the shallows to liquid opal and painting the sky in hues of rose and lavender, a spectacle that draws the breath and stills the hurried heart. The very texture of the land seems alive, from the fine, sugar-like grains of the renowned beaches to the resilient, wind-sculpted scrub clinging to the dunes, all testament to the enduring power of wind and wave.
For generations, the deep, sheltered waters of Jervis Bay have been a source of sustenance and a vital artery for trade, its natural harbour a welcome haven for mariners. While the whispers of early European exploration are faint, the enduring presence of Indigenous custodians speaks to a far deeper, more ancient connection to this land and its bounty. The economy of Jervis Bay today is inextricably linked to its breathtaking natural beauty, with tourism forming a significant pillar, drawing visitors from across the nation and beyond to its pristine shores and the protected wilderness of the Booderee National Park. Fishing fleets still venture out, their catches a continuation of a long tradition, and the quiet hum of local commerce provides a gentle counterpoint to the ceaseless murmur of the ocean. The pace of life here is measured, a tide-like rhythm dictated more by the sun and the seasons than the frantic ticking of a clock, fostering a sense of community that is as deep and clear as the waters themselves.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Jervis Bay, Other Territories. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Jervis Bay.
Detailed location data for Jervis Bay includes the postcode (2540), telephone area code (02), with an ABS remoteness classification of Inner Regional Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Jervis Bay is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
