MERIMBULA
Merimbula and its pristine environment, the heart of the Sapphire Coast.
A place where you can relax, reconnect with family or release your inner child. Jump off Merimbula Wharf; float with the tide at Bar Beach, kayak on Top Lake and surf the break at Main Beach. Or for those who’ve exhausted their beach time, a trip to Magic Mountain or Potoroo Palace is a wonderful day out.
One of the best places in the region to enjoy our famed local produce, Merimbula is home to a wide selection of cafes and restaurants all offering up the best of our local fare. Dulcie’s, Wheelers and Merimbula Wharf are all local institutions whilst an eclectic mix of smaller eateries offer something for everyone. Merimbula shines all year round with fishing, golf and bowls, all ready to complement the beautiful and unspoilt beaches and estuaries on offer.
PAMBULA - PAMBULA BEACH
Pambula town has emerged in recent years as one of the most unique shopping Villages on the Sapphire Coast. Pambula is well-known for its bespoke shops, organic and local produce , bustling brewery and envied village vibe. When you’re done exploring the town, head to Pambula beach and the famous, and so photogenic River mouth. Buckets and spades, fish and chips, sandy feet & salty hair. It’s a simple and perfect way to spend a day. And pack the paddleboard. Hot tip: Visit Pamboola Wetlands, on the edge of the village, on the site of the old racecourse. It’s a bird and wildlife paradise, a great place to walk and a local community project.
