It’s a lively weekend coming up in Jervis Bay, with something for everyone from live music to beach athletics and more. Scroll down for some ticketed events that you might want to plan ahead so you don’t miss out, including a murder mystery night that puts you at the centre of the action.

Beachside

If you’ve ever considered taking up a water sport for the summer, why not join the Sunday Social Paddle with the Jervis Bay Outrigger Canoe Club. Register for this free event

Watch ‘everyday athletes’ in action at White Sands Park across the weekend, competing in the Bay Games – a combination of competitions across the sands and waters.

Live Music

Tomerong Hall will be buzzing with the sounds of The Gadflys this Saturday night, with the 40-year veterans promoting their first new album in 19 years. Tickets to their gigs are also contributing to charities that do social good.

Sunday sessions at Jervis Bay Brewing Co are always a cool diversion from the end of the weekend. This Sunday from 4pm listen to the blues roots sounds of south coast singer/songwriter Cameron Little.

Enjoy lounge tunes with Dave Newman at The Sandbar restaurant three nights this week, Thurs-Sat. Try the marinara pizza and a happy hour cocktail.
