Long Beach is a stunning two-kilometre stretch of white sand on the NSW South Coast, near Currarong at the northern tip of Jervis Bay. Sheltered by its south-west aspect, the beach is often calm and protected from northerly winds, making it ideal for shore-entry snorkelling. The shallow nearshore waters feature rocky reefs and seaweed beds teeming with marine life, while the unpatrolled beach offers a peaceful, natural setting. Accessible from car parks at either end, it's a favourite for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkelling in Batemans Marine Park.

Low risk: Rocks Near Eastern End
Submerged and exposed rocks towards the eastern part of the beach present a snagging hazard, especially at low tide.
Low risk: Variable Swell Conditions
Though often sheltered, occasional southerly swells can produce strong shore breaks and rip currents.
