Honeymoon Bay is a tiny, almost circular bay on the northern shore of Jervis Bay near Longnose Point, famous for its white sand, clear water and bush camping. It lies on the Beecroft Peninsula, which is the Department of Defence's Beecroft Weapons Range, so it is only accessible by road when the range is open to the public – generally weekends and school holidays – and the campground is booked out in peak periods.

The Currarong Community Association describes it as a gentle, car-accessible dive, and it is equally good for snorkelling. The bay floor is sand and seagrass fringed by rocky reef along both sides, deepening to around 10 m at the mouth. Luderick and bream graze the rocks, cuttlefish and small rays are common, weedy sea dragons are occasionally seen in the weed at the mouth, and schools of small fish crowd the sheltered water. Visibility is often very good because the bay is flushed by clean water from the entrance.

The shelter makes Honeymoon Bay a very easy dive – ideal for beginners, families, snorkellers and night dives for those camping there. The limitations are access and crowds: when the range is closed the bay cannot be reached by road, and on busy weekends boats anchor inside the bay, so divers must tow a float. It is also part of the Jervis Bay Marine Park; check zoning before taking anything. For divers staying in Currarong or camping on the peninsula it is a delightful and reliable shallow site, and it serves as a base for exploring Longnose Point and Darts Point by kayak or small boat.

From Nowra take Currarong Road towards Currarong and turn onto Lighthouse Road/Beecroft Peninsula access through the Beecroft Weapons Range gate (open to the public generally Friday afternoon to Sunday and school/public holidays – check with Range Control on 02 4448 3411). Follow the signs to Honeymoon Bay; park near the camping area and walk a few metres to the beach. Enter from the sand and swim out along the rocky sides to the bay mouth.

Boat divers can also anchor off the bay from Huskisson (10–15 minutes).

The northern shore of Jervis Bay is sheltered from all ocean swell except a large south-easterly rolling in through the entrance, and it is protected from northerly and north-easterly winds by the Beecroft Peninsula, which makes it the standard summer venue when afternoon nor'easters roughen the outer coast. Strong southerly and south-westerly winds blow across the bay and make the northern shore choppy and the crossing from Huskisson wet. Visibility varies considerably with sea state and rainfall – typically 8–20 m.

Tidal currents are weak except near Point Perpendicular and the entrance. Honeymoon Bay is an almost enclosed bay facing south-west into Jervis Bay and is flat on most days, but strong south-westerlies push chop straight in.

Enter from the beach, follow one rocky side of the bay out to the mouth at 6–10 m, look along the reef edge outside and return along the opposite side. Tow a float – small boats anchor in the bay in summer.

No regular operator; independent shore divers and snorkellers when the range is open; guided snorkel tours visit the Beecroft Peninsula.
