The Magic begins with a first glimpse of Merimbula's beaches, brilliant beneath the bright sunshine. Lagoon, lakes and ocean are separated by white sand, and fringed by unspoilt bushland stretching up into the mountains. Boats head out of Merimbula Bar to explore the stunning coastline or enjoy abundant fishing. The lure of swimming, surfing, wave sailing, canoeing, diving, bushwalking, exploring beckons - all so close to the mediterranean setting that is Merimbula. Surrounded by Sapphire Coast seafoods, restaurants create their own style of flavours from fresh local produce.
