This moderately trafficked walk starts from the Greenfield Beach picnic area in Vincentia, in Jervis Bay. 

From the picnic area, take the short path down to Greenfield Beach, the first of many beautiful beaches to relax at along the walk.

The main track then heads south, immediately crossing Greenfield Gully. The track consists of a series of boardwalks, bridges and well-maintained graded paths.

Continue south to the white sands and turquoise waters of Chinamans Beach, crossing Duck Gully on the way, and taking in the incredible ocean views at various lookout points along the track.

There are ample opportunities for bird watching and spotting dolphins.

At the southern end of Chinamans Beach, the track exits onto the footpath adjacent to the local streets (Cyrus Street), before entering the park that runs down to Little Hyams Beach.

From there, head down to the beach and walk along the white sands, across the rocky outcrop and onto Hyams Beach, where swimming and snorkelling is popular.

From all of the beaches, admire the views across Jervis Bay to Point Perpendicular and the prominent lighthouse perched atop the cliffs.

It is well worth packing your swimsuit and having a dip at each of the beaches – all of which are beautiful.

To return, retrace your steps, with the option to add the interconnected Scribbly Gum loop track (side track on the left when heading north), just after Chinamans Beach.

The Scribbly Gum track leads you away from the ocean, deeper into Jervis Bay National Park, finishing back at the western side of the Greenfield Beach picnic area. 

The White Sands Walk is easy and relatively flat, and while the Scribbly Gum track is also easy, it is somewhat steeper, with more steps.

There is also a longer version of this walk, taking in a number of additional beautiful beaches, which can be started from Plantation Point Reserve in Vincentia, leading down to Hyams Beach. 

This is a great walk to add to a day-trip of the area, including southern activities like Cave Beach, Hole-in-the-Wall, Murrays Beach and Boat Ramp, and the Cape St George Lighthouse, or northern activities like Point Perpendicular Lighthouse, Honeymoon Bay and Currarong Rock Pools.

Track: The trail mostly involves graded, well-maintained paths, wooden boardwalks and concrete footpaths, as well as some stretches along the beach. It is relatively flat, with only a few steps, with the Scribbly Gum track having more steps. The track is well-signed and easy to follow. 

Difficulty: The track is well-maintained and relatively flat, making it easy and suitable for all fitness levels. 

Direction: This is an out-and-back track which returns the way you came, with an option to add a loop track on that is best completed in a clockwise direction.
