An
easy cycle path and road ride along the south-western shore of Jervis Bay.
The destination for this ride is a recent reserve development by the NPWS
at Greenfields Beach. The reserve is an excellent sheltered and shaded place
to swim, picnic and relax. There is a bit of climbing when you leave the reserve,
but you are rewarded by panoramic views over the Bay.
