Huskisson Ice Creamery

Huskisson Ice Creamery on Owen Street is the most well-known stop for ice cream in the area. They offer Italian-style gelato and soft-serve in a wide range of flavours — from classic stracciatella and pistachio to seasonal fruit options. Portions are generous and quality is consistently high. The shop sits right on the Owen Street foreshore strip, making a post-beach or post-dolphin-cruise cone an almost unavoidable pleasure. It's reliably open through school holidays and most weekends year-round.

Licketty Lick Gelateria

Licketty Lick at 53 Owen Street is Huskisson's one-stop sweet shop — gelateria, ice creamery, lolly shop, and chocolate shop all under one roof. It's the kind of place kids spot from a distance and make a beeline for. The gelato range covers classic flavours alongside seasonal options, and the lolly and chocolate selection makes it good for picking up holiday treats to take home. A great option for a family that can't agree on just one thing.

Mercier's Gelato & Coffee

Mercier's Gelato & Coffee on Bowen Street is a more artisan option — they make their gelato in-house and roast their own coffee beans, which puts the quality several notches above a standard beach town ice cream shop. They operate partly from charming vintage caravans, which adds real character. The Bowen Street spot has views over Jervis Bay, making it a lovely place to sit with a scoop. Hours can vary seasonally so check their Facebook or website before making a special trip.

Jervis Bay Fudge

Jervis Bay Fudge on Owen Street has been making handmade fudge using local ingredients for over a decade. Beyond the fudge — which is the main event — they also do ice cream. It's a worthwhile stop for anyone walking the main strip, particularly if you want something to take home. The Owen Street location has views over Jervis Bay and catches plenty of holiday foot traffic.

Ice Cream Beyond Huskisson

Berry (45 minutes from Huskisson) is famous for its ice cream culture — the Berry Ice Creamery on Queen Street has long been a staple stop on the way to or from Jervis Bay. Their flavours include inventive local combinations alongside classics. Building an ice cream stop into your Berry day trip is a very good idea.

Best Spots to Eat It
