Fisho’s Hut – Jervis Bay

This is the start of a new series of short posts of beautiful places to visit around Sydney. As you would expect, I visit them by bicycle (and train).

Fisho’s Hut has a nice picnic table with a view. It is a cave with a view out over the deep blue ocean, perched inside the cliff face 90 metres above the water.

Sitting at the table looking down, I watched a massive turtle paddling along. It must have been a metre across.

Situated on the Beecroft Peninsula on Jervis Bay, around 200km south of Sydney, the whole area is incredible. Massive cliff faces with lots of scenic perches to contemplate the ocean below. There is a well hidden path to Fisho’s Hut. You will have to bush-bash through parts of this forgotten path, but you will be alone in this beautiful place.

A cycle of around 45km one-way from the train station at Bomaderry, mostly on country roads in an undulating landscape.

On arrival back in Bomaderry, I passed 89,000km on my bike since I bought it in 2012.

    Hi Matt, just wondering on how to get there, have a house nearby but have as yet not been able to get down there, is there a trail or path leading from the cliff to the cave or would climbing gear be needed?
    Great riding by the way. Thanks

    • There is a little trail that is visible on Google Maps that goes to the cave starting not far from the lighthouse. The path is not obvious but easy enough to follow once you have found the start. Use Google Maps to help. No climbing gear needed but you shouldn’t be afraid of heights. Take care and take the descent at your own risk.
      There is also a youtube video you can see from Sleep Work Explore you can look at..
