Things to Do

Merimbula abounds with a myriad of interesting & beautiful things to do.

Surrounding the town is the “top lake’- this volcanic lake is exquisite, & the boardwalk [15-20min level walk] is not to be missed, particularly first thing in the morning as the mist rises over the surrounding hills, & the waterbirds arrive amongst the oyster leases.

There are a number of pristine beaches in each direction, suitable for all water sport activities, & all types of fishing [beach, surf, estuary, rock, reef & game [the continental shelf is only 14 miles offshore [the closest distance in Australia - with Bermagui at12m].

• Bowling [great club & weather],
• Golf [3 nearby courses],
• Bushwalking [we are in the southern forests],
• Bird watching [over 60 species alone sighted in this immediate area [including black cockatoos & sea eagles],
• Whale watching in season [sep-nov],
• June jazz long w/e
• Melbourne cup w/e country & western festival.
• Lakes Jindabyne & Eucumbene are only 2 hours away.

Local oysters from the far south coast regularly win the annual “best Sydney rock oysters in Australia” competition. Don’t miss a short trip to Pambula Lake for a plate of oysters by the water, freshly shucked in front of your eyes by the local growers- a treat to be savoured!
