Unrivalled natural beauty boasting a remarkable climate, clear blue skies and warm currents create an Indian Summer that lasts well into the year. In addition, the Far South Sapphire Coast offers much to see and do including crystal clear sapphire waters, golden sandy beaches and small coastal towns boasting fresh sea air.

Bordered by forests and green coastal national parks, this area lends itself to everything from quiet relaxed camping in out of the way places, to the hustle and bustle of holiday towns such as Merimbula, Tathra, Bermagui and Narooma, providing opportunities for shopping and exploring by day, wining and dining by night.

Restaurants provide plentiful local seafood, or you can travel out on one of the many charters to catch your own prize. Golfers are spoilt with wonderful courses dotted along the coast.

Accommodation of all shapes and sizes provide guests with many varying experiences, from rural retreats and wilderness camping, to luxurious motels and beachside apartments. The Far South Coast is within easy reach of Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. But for visitors from further afield, it�s definitely worth the trip.

Some of the best whale watching in the country is available during September to December, but dolphins, seals and penguins don't let the whales take all the spotlight.

The larger coastal towns have festivals at different times turning main streets into live theatres with colour and excitement. Weekend markets offer a huge range of local produce and craft items.

History buffs are well catered for, from Boydtown and Eden, with it's whaling past, to historic Tathra, the only remaining sea wharf on the east coast of Australia.

But it's not all on the coast. The Far South Sapphire Coast offers tremendous opportunity to explore the bush, either on foot, or by 4wheel drive.
