Another name for the NSW South Coast is the "Sapphire Coast." When you visit the beautiful coastal community of Merimbula, it becomes quickly obvious why the South Coast has received its nickname. Its wide expanses of water, tranquil beaches and verdant landscape make Merimbula a magical place to visit.
Lying more or less at the halfway point between Melbourne and Sydney, Merimbula is a popular vacation destination for residents of both of these metropolitan cities who are looking for an escape from the pressures of city life.
An outdoor lover's paradise, Merimbula offers a number of attractions for everyone, young or old, no matter what level of fitness. The area is renowned for its deep sea fishing and surfers head for the waves outside of town, while families can frolic in the calm, sheltered waters near the town center. Whale watching tours are a popular way to "go fishing," giving you the opportunity to see these monsters of the deep close-up.
Another popular way to experience the outdoors in Merimbula is to explore the beautiful Bournda National Park. It is in an ideal setting for families. Access is easy and there are safe family activities available, including canoeing, splashing in refreshing lakes, exploring nature or just taking it easy. The camping ground at Hobart Beach at the edge of the park is one of the most popular in the region.
When you're on vacation, you want to be able to relax and enjoy a good meal, go shopping and relax in town. Merimbula's 4000 residents go out of their way to make sure their tens of thousands of yearly visitors get everything they could want. Merimbula's restaurants are particularly renowned for their seafood and the local artist community is represented tn the galleries scattered throughout the town.
Golf lovers come all the way from Sydney and Melbourne just to play the nearby Tura Beach Country Club course. This world class golf course is notable for its beautiful scenery, which you can take in while you play and then admire from the beautiful restaurant overlooking the golf course. For family golf fun, there is the Mandeni Golf Center. Between the great 9 hole course, the 18 hole mini-golf course and the lake driving range, the whole family can enjoy a great day of golfing.
Merimbula is used to catering to all kinds of visitors and this is reflected in its wide range of Merimbula accommodations. There are many 3, 4 and even 5 star accommodations available as well as quaint out-of-the-way cottages and apartments that can be rented short term. Merimbula is located between two other popular South Coast holiday destinations, Eden and Tathra, so it makes a perfect place to stay while you're exploring the Sapphire Coast.
