Merimbula Marina

Merimbula Marina is a small family owned business. Our passion is whale watching and for 8 months of the year this is what we do. May to August during the Norther Migration of the wonderful humpback whales we operate cruises out of Darling Harbour Sydney. And then for the Southern Migration from August to December we run daily cruises from Merimbula on the NSW South Coast. The Southern Migration from Merimbula is our favourite time of the year as so many whales pass close to the shore and the whale watching is sensational! Outside of the whale season we operate Scenic Discovery Cruises December to May. These cruises are a wonderful way to see the spectacular Sapphire Coast from the water and regularly sight a variety of marine life. We also operate fishing charters over the summer from Merimbula. We have 4hr Reef Fishing Charters, and during the Game Fishing Season we operate 8hr Game Fishing Charters. Private Charters can also be organised by contacting our office.

Killer Whale Museum

Reviewed By 4_Aussies_inOz - Sydney, Australia

We visited the museum on a windy, cooler day and it was the perfect experience for bad beach weather! Adults and kids alike will be entertained for a couple of hours here, even with covid restrictions closing some minor sections & viewing telescopes. The museum is well set out, despite being small, and the gift shop is well organised. Hubby and I read every single signboard and these gave us such a deeper understanding of the whaling industry in Eden and of the local locations we had visited the previous day. Excellent covid-safe provisions and clean public toilets. Views from the top floor and outside are beautiful.

Blue Pool

Reviewed By swrb30 - Gungahlin, Australia

A must visit site when in the area. Perfect for a refreshing swim after a walk, with amazing scenery. If the timing is right you might even see seals or a whale. Just a note for people with limited mobility - you will need to descend and ascend quite a few steps to access the Blue Pool.

A great spot for stunning views across Wonboyn Beach or quiet contemplation. Tip: visit on the way back from Green Cape so you don’t have to turn across traffic! Highly recommended.

Montreal Goldfield

Reviewed By christinesP5702SP

I thoroughly enjoyed Montreal Goldfield, the entire site is run by volunteers who do an amazing job conserving the unique history of one of only two Southern Hemisphere beach side gold finds. Learn about the rectangular shape of the pits, the mystery that gave Mystery Bay its name, methods of mining, the geology that led to gold being deposited and if you are lucky you may get to try dowsing! Take cash with you to pay the entry which goes toward maintaining the site. It was only $7 when I was there in 2021. If you are in the Bermagui area then it is well worth stopping in.
