Sapphire Coast highlights

The Sapphire Coast on NSW’s far South Coast is a total stunner that’ll blow your mind with its natural beauty and laid-back coastal vibes. Think sparkling beaches, lush forests, and loads of wildlife. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to relax and soak up nature’s wonders. Whether you’re a beach bum, foodie, or adventure lover, the Sapphire Coast has got it all.

You can’t mention the Sapphire Coast without talking about its stunning coastline. Tathra is a surfer’s paradise and a fishing hotspot, plus the historic Tathra Wharf serves up major ocean views. Bermagui’s deep-sea fishing and the Insta-worthy Blue Pool are must-sees. Merimbula is super family-friendly with gorgeous beaches, scenic boardwalks, and the fun-tastic Magic Mountain amusement park. Nature lovers adore Bournda National Park or a whale-watching tour from Eden, Merimbula and Bermagui.

The charming towns of the Sapphire Coast are full of character. Bega is cheese heaven with tasty dairy treats and local history at the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre.

Eden draws in holidaymakers with its great accommodation choices and also catches the eye of relocators searching for stunning real estate. Candelo‘s got those picturesque scenes and awesome community markets. Pambula‘s historic buildings and lovely beaches make it ideal for a relaxing day out. Lots of folks love booking a stay at Discovery Parks – Pambula Beach while they’re in town. And for the pure coastal experience, Wonboyn is the spot for fishing, kayaking, and peaceful estuary walks. Each town on the Sapphire Coast has its own unique flair, perfect for visitors, locals, and anyone thinking about making the move.
