If it's pure white sand you're looking for when you take a seaside holiday then you must go to Hyams Beach on the New South Wales South Coast. This beach, on the shores of Jervis Bay, has the whitest beach sand in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records. Hyams Beach accommodation is within the small village of Hyams Beach only three hours south of Sydney and it all consists of Hyams Beach holiday rentals.
Hyams Beach is actually the centre beach of three beaches, all glowing in the bright sunlight because of the fine, soft, brilliantly white sand that exists there. The longest is Seamans Beach to its south that stretches for two kilometres, but some prefer to call it Sailors Beach. To the north of Hyams Beach you'll find Chinamans Beach. All these beaches face east across Jervis Bay to Point Perpendicular and the Pacific Ocean.
Your secluded South Coast accommodation at Hyams Beach has a natural bush feel about it as it's bordered by National Parks which leaves it with abundant native bird life, animals and native plants. To the south you have the Booderee National Park which is a natural botanical garden and to the north there's the Jervis Bay National Park. It's an area rich in the history of the South Coast and a wonderful place for a relaxing getaway type of holiday.
Besides the natural attraction of the strikingly white sand on the local beaches at Hyams Beach, there's also the crystal clear water of Jervis Bay that's ideal for snorkeling, fishing, diving and swimming. When not relaxing on the beach you can stock up from the Hyams Beach shops that include a bottle shop, deli and grocery that have all the essentials. A larger variety of goods are available from the nearest town of Huskisson only a few minutes drive to the north.
Jervis Bay itself is three times the size of Sydney Harbour and the land around it projects 16 kilometres further out to sea than does the rest of the South Coast coastline. The bay that's created by this landmass is continually being flushed out by strong Pacific Ocean currents which bring in all varieties of game fish. This makes it one of the worlds best Marlin fishing destinations. You're pretty well guaranteed a good catch every time you take your line out to the gravel patches and broken reefs at any time of the year. In fact the water is much calmer during the winter months which gives you a good opportunity to do some real deep-sea fishing. This makes Hyams Beach holiday rentals an attractive proposition throughout the year, summer for enjoying the beach and winter for deep sea fishing.
The Hyams Beach village consists of accommodation of all sorts, from humble residences, to very lavishly designed houses. Your Hyams Beach accommodation in the form of Hyams Beach holiday rentals therefore caters to all budgets and tastes. If it's a secluded holiday you're looking for, away from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist centres, Hyams Beach is where you'll find it.
