The Coastal Forage is Jervis Bay’s premier culinary adventure, combining a breathtaking coastal walk with a multi-course, locally sourced feast cooked right on the world-famous white sands. It is the ultimate weekend escape for food lovers looking to taste the very essence of the Shoalhaven region while surrounded by pristine, turquoise waters.

Welcome to the Forage: A Sensory Escape

Imagine stepping off the pavement and onto sand so white and fine it squeaks beneath your shoes. The air is thick with the smell of the salty ocean breeze, mingling perfectly with the irresistible, smoky aroma of fresh seafood sizzling over hot coals. This isn’t just a lunch; this is the Jervis Bay Coastal Forage—a vibrant celebration of nature, community, and spectacular local produce.

For weekenders escaping the concrete hustle of Sydney, the political buzz of Canberra, or the quiet of regional NSW, the Coastal Forage offers a complete reset. It’s an event that captures the true energy of the South Coast. You don’t just attend this event; you walk it, you smell it, and you taste it.

Picture this: you spend your late morning indulging in freshly caught, char-grilled octopus right by the water’s edge, listening to the gentle crash of the waves. Afterward, you can wander down the coastline to cool off in the famously clear, turquoise waters of Hyams Beach. It’s an immersive, barefoot luxury experience that turns a standard weekend trip into a lifelong memory.
