About Vincentia
Welcome to Vincentia
Vincentia sits on the shores of Jervis Bay on the South Coast of New South Wales, roughly three hours south of Sydney and a short drive from Nowra, the regional hub of the Shoalhaven. It's a coastal community built around white-sand beaches and bushland reserves, with the turquoise waters of Jervis Bay forming its most obvious drawcard.
With a population of around 3,870 and a median age of 50, Vincentia has settled into a rhythm that suits retirees, coastal downsizers and families who want the beach lifestyle without the intensity of the tourist strips nearby. It sits alongside Huskisson, Old Erowal Bay, Erowal Bay, Sanctuary Point and Tomerong, forming a cluster of Jervis Bay villages that share beaches, schools and services but each keep a distinct, low-key identity.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Vincentia revolves around the water. Days are shaped by beach walks, swimming and fishing, with the calm, clear waters of Jervis Bay providing some of the best (and safest) swimming on the whole NSW coast. For a wider choice of cafes, restaurants and the well-known Husky Pub scene, residents head a few minutes up the road to Huskisson, which has grown into the area's main dining and social hub while Vincentia keeps a quieter, more residential feel.
Shopping
Vincentia has its own small shopping village covering everyday needs, supplemented by the wider retail and supermarket offering in Huskisson and the larger centre of Nowra for bulkier shopping trips, medical specialists and department stores. It's a set-up typical of Shoalhaven coastal towns: local convenience on the doorstep, with a short drive covering anything more substantial.
Schools & families
Vincentia Public School and Vincentia High School give the suburb a genuine family backbone, meaning school-age children can stay local right through to Year 12 rather than commuting elsewhere. This local schooling option, combined with the beach lifestyle, makes Vincentia popular with families relocating from Sydney or Canberra in search of more space and a slower pace, as well as with grandparents wanting to be close to grandchildren.
Parks & recreation
Jervis Bay Marine Park and the beaches along Vincentia's coastline are the suburb's biggest recreational asset, offering swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding and boating for much of the year. Bushland reserves and walking tracks thread through the area towards neighbouring Sanctuary Point and Erowal Bay, and the nearby Booderee National Park (via Huskisson) adds further options for bushwalking, whale watching and wildlife spotting.
Getting around
Vincentia is well connected to the rest of the Shoalhaven by road, with Nowra around a 20-minute drive away providing access to the Princes Highway for trips north to Wollongong and Sydney or south towards the Far South Coast. There's no train line this far along the coast, so a car is essential for most residents, and local bus services link Vincentia with Huskisson, Sanctuary Point and Nowra for those without their own transport.
The property market
Vincentia's property market centres firmly on houses, which make up 88% of current listings, with apartments and units at 5%, land at 4% and townhouses at 3% — a mix that reflects its identity as a low-density, house-and-land coastal suburb rather than a unit-heavy tourist strip. The median house price sits at $1.30 million, backed by recent growth of 7.0%, a sign of continued demand for Jervis Bay lifestyle real estate.
Rental market
For renters, the median asking rent is $730 a week, reflecting the premium attached to beachside living in one of the South Coast's most sought-after bay locations. Buyers and tenants alike are typically drawn by proximity to the water, the local schools, and the calmer, more residential character Vincentia offers compared with the busier tourist flow through Huskisson.
