Jervis Bay Village Anchorage

Drop anchor off Jervis Bay Village, the de facto capital of Australia's only federally governed territory — a genuinely rare bit of trivia for your logbook. You're sitting inside the hook of South Head, with crystal-clear turquoise water that Jervis Bay is famous for, and the village itself is a short dinghy ride away for a look around this compact, unusual slice of Australian governance. The Royal Australian Navy has a long presence in these waters, so you may find warships anchored nearby — not something you see every day.
