Merimbula

Merimbula Coast LineTaking it easy in Merimbula is not a privilege, it's the only way there is. The resort in the middle of the Sapphire Coast is one of the prime places to engage in activities such as a day picnic, a long walk or an afternoon at one of the town's clean, clear blue beaches. Take a cruise to Gabo Island and see the historic lighthouse or join a whale watching cruise in April, May and June.

Underwater Recommendations

Merimbula boast fantastic visibility of up to 30 meters all year round. There are reefs formed by boulders and rocks covered with sessile life such as colourful sponges, soft corals and beautiful gorgonian fans. Depending where you go you might also find Weedy Seadragons hiding in kelp, Port Jackson Sharks, Blue Gropers, brightly coloured nudibranchs, king fish, trevally, cuttlefish and morwong. The remains of The Empire Gladstone lie at around the 10 meters and can be safely entered by divers.
