Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Jackson Bay?
The best area to stay in Jackson Bay is within the settlement itself, particularly close to the main wharf and the Jackson Bay Road end.

This small, remote fishing village is the heart of the area. It's compact and very easy to navigate on foot, with most facilities clustered around the harbour. You'll find the main eatery, the iconic "Craypot" food caravan, and the general store here, all offering fantastic local seafood. The road ends at the wharf, making it a natural focal point.

For couples seeking a peaceful escape with stunning natural beauty, staying right in Jackson Bay is ideal. You'll wake up to views of the bay and the surrounding mountains, with easy access to walks like the one to Smoothwater Bay or the short stroll to the Jackson Bay Historic Wharf. The evenings offer incredible stargazing due to the lack of light pollution.

Families will also find Jackson Bay a wonderful base. The calm waters of the bay are great for gentle kayaking or paddleboarding, and children will enjoy watching the fishing boats come and go from the wharf. There are also opportunities for spotting Hector's dolphins and various seabirds directly from the shore.
When is the best time to go to Jackson Bay?
The best time to visit Jackson Bay is during the warmer, drier months, typically from November to April.

This period offers the most favourable weather for exploring the West Coast's natural beauty. You'll find longer daylight hours and generally less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and boating. While Jackson Bay is known for its rugged charm, good weather certainly enhances the experience.

Couples looking for an adventurous yet comfortable escape will appreciate this season. The milder conditions allow for scenic drives along the coast, exploring nearby waterfalls, or enjoying a picnic on the beach without the chill. Many of the local tour operators and fishing charters are also in full swing during these months, offering more options for activities.

For those seeking a tranquil retreat away from the crowds, travelling in the shoulder months of November or April can be particularly rewarding.
