Do you want to go on that long due vacation and are looking for an ideal holiday destination? Well, if your answer is in the affirmative and you are a water baby then you can pack your bags and set out for Merimbula. Situated in the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales this town is your best bet if you love beaches and water.
The five primary beaches on the town are the Main beach that is also known as the Merimbula beach, the Short Point, the Spencer Park beach, Bar Beach and Mitchies Jetty. If you are into surfing then you can try the Short Point and the Main beach and if you love snorkeling then you just can’t give the Bar Beach a miss. You can also try your hand at kite surfing, fishing, whaling and boating.
If you are in Merimbula anytime between September and early December then you must indulge in whaling or whale watching. During this time of the year humpback whales in large numbers travel through Merimbula. And Merimbula is one of the few places on earth where you can see lateral lunge feeding. It is an out of the world experience.
Fishing Charters are the way to go in you love fishing. The Sapphire Coast offers you the best off-shore and in-shore fishing opportunity in New South Wales. You can opt for one of the many cruise options available and you can catch Snapper, Blue fin Tuna, Yellow fin Tuna, Marlin and Kingfisher. However you need a New South Wales Recreational Fishing License if you want to fish.
Another thing that you just cannot miss when you are in Merimbula is the boat ride. Hire a boat and explore the Merimbula Lake. The lake has several varieties of fish and cruising along the lake in a boat against the backdrop of the surrounding hills is an experience that you just cannot afford to miss.
