Swap a six-hour road trip for a one-hour flight and find yourself on the stunning Sapphire Coast, beloved for its uncrowded beaches, pristine coastline, and fresh local produce. Whether you’re strolling along the elevated boardwalk through mangroves, taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters, or dining on some of the country’s finest oysters, Merimbula provides a perfect blend of laid-back charm and outdoor adventure.
It’s also home to cool cafes, new dining options, art galleries, and even an amusement park. The area offers whale-watching tours between May and November, and the Merimbula Aquarium and Wharf boasts 28 tanks of marine life. Nearby Pambula offers even more, with its relaxed vibe, kangaroos on the beach, and oyster tasting. A short drive away is a great spot for brunch before hiring bikes to explore the scenic trails of the Bundadung Mountain Biking Network.
