Beecroft Peninsula

Beecroft Peninsula

Beecroft Peninsula is a peninsula located to the north and east of Jervis Bay in New South Wales, Australia. Due to strong winds and waves from the south the peninsula contains numerous caves and blowholes. Its varied fauna and vegetation have led to a request for the area to be made into a National Park. There is a town in the northeast of the peninsula called Currarong.
