Jervis Inlet is one of the principal inlets of the British Columbia Coast. It is about 90 km in length from its head at the mouth of the short (18 km) Skwakwa River to its opening into the Strait of Georgia near Texada Island. Its mouth is about 95 km northwest of downtown Vancouver. Its uppermost stretch is Queens Reach, which does a right-angle to become Princess Royal Reach; both reaches are about 20 km in length. A side inlet off of Queens Reach, Princess Louisa Inlet, is home to a recreational retreat named Malibu and is also a busy destination for recreational watercraft because of the small inlet's stunning scenery.

At the mouth of Jervis Inlet a short passenger and vehicle ferry operated by BC Ferries connects Earl's Cove on the upper end of the Sechelt Peninsula of the lower Sunshine Coast with Saltery Bay, on the bottom end of the Malaspina Peninsula of the upper Sunshine Coast.

N.B. Typically "Jervis" is pronounced JAR-vis in British Columbia, a reminder of the British legacy in that province, although the more North American pronuncation JUR-vis is often heard.
