tidal estuary on the western shore of Jervis Bay in New South Wales, flowing into the bay at Huskisson. The creek runs approximately 15 kilometres from its upper reaches near Falls Road down to the bay, passing through the township of Huskisson and the Woollamia area. The lower reaches are characterised by dense mangrove forests and saltmarshes, while the banks transition to farmland further upstream.
The primary access points are the Woollamia Regional Boat Ramp near the creek's lower section and a kayak launch ramp on Dent Street in Huskisson, adjacent to the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum. The Dent Street ramp provides direct access to the mangrove section of the creek. For those doing a one-way paddle, a car shuffle of approximately 13 kilometres is required between the Woollamia ramp and the Falls Road exit point upstream.
The Waterways Guide rates the creek at Grade S01 throughout, making it suitable for beginners and families. The calm, sheltered estuary waters are appropriate for kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. The mangrove section near Huskisson is a notable feature — at high tide, paddlers can float among large mangroves, while low tide exposes tidal flats. Stopping points along the creek are limited, though the section behind Jervis Bay Cabins and Camping has been used as a rest stop.
Hire equipment including kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, paddles, and life jackets is available from operators based at Huskisson Wharf on Currambene Street. Participants hiring equipment must be confident swimmers, and hired kayaks and SUPs are restricted to Currambene Creek only — they cannot be taken into the open bay.
Currambene Creek also forms part of a longer 12-kilometre round-trip bay paddle from Plantation Point in Vincentia, where paddlers cross Jervis Bay to Huskisson, enter the creek to explore the moored yachts and mangroves, and return via Shark Net Beach. That route is graded S02 and takes approximately three hours. Paddlers undertaking open-bay crossings are advised to log on and off with Marine Rescue Jervis Bay using the NSW Marine Rescue app.
