The Sapphire Coast is the southernmost coastal region of the state of New South Wales. From Wallaga Lake in the north, where you can take a cultural tour from a local native guide, to Wonboyn Lake, a beautiful nature reserve north of the border with Victoria. This region offers many interesting excursions and activities for visitors.
From Lakes Entrance, we drove to Tilba Tilba which is a cute little town with lots of nice picturesque buildings. Also, the accommodation The Bryn at Tilba is truly one to stay at again.

The town of Bega is the centre of the region and is surrounded by the typical Australian countryside. The area has a thriving dairy industry and cheese specialities from Bega are famous throughout the country. Bega itself is located slightly inland, but you will find small, lively towns along the coast that are well worth a visit. Tathra on the coast is popular with locals and holidaymakers alike.
Merimbula is located near beautiful lakes and their estuary in the Pacific Ocean is a breathtaking stretch of coast. You will find plenty of holiday accommodation and activities here. Pambula and Pambula Beach are both attractive smaller towns that offer quiet and central holiday destinations.
Further south lies the small, picturesque fishing village of Eden, right on the deep harbour of Twofold Bay. It is still known for the history of whaling in the region. Nowadays, whale watching, fishing and the local timber industry fortunately play a major role for locals. Nevertheless, interested parties can visit the local whale museum. Here you will get an insight into the history of the region and the development of the industry.
