Good to Know?
The Sapphire Coast region, stretching from Bermagui in the north to the Victorian border in the south, is an untouched wilderness with some of the best national parks, lagoons and seas in which to explore its dynamic marine and bird life. Kayaking is a popular pastime, as is bird watching and hiking.
The area is also home to a burgeoning artisan food and wine scene with oysters a specialty. Bega is famous for its cheese; Pambula for its oysters; and deep-sea fishing town, Bermagui, for its yellowfin tuna and marlin.
Eden and the Sapphire Coast have undergone a transformation, with grower's markets, food festivals and nature-based adventures on offer. The Visitor Information Centre, located on Mitchell Street near Imlay, has information on attractions, tours and special events, including self-guided walking tours.
