Eat & Drink
If you’re a lover of seafood, you’ve come to the right place. Book yourself in for a tour at Wheeler’s Oyster Farm and Restaurant. Visitors come from far and wide to sample their world-class oysters – they’re as fresh as they come! Wash down your lunch with a tasting paddle at Longstocking Brewery. There are plenty of great eating spots in and around the Merimbula promenade after a big day on the water.
Explore
With Merimbula to the north and Pambula to the south, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to stunning beaches, spectacular wilderness, and abundant natural beauty. Just 30 mins drive south and you’ll find Twofold Bay, one of the best places for whale watching in the country (Aug-Nov). Walk through Tea Trees and along the cliff topics to Tura Head and enjoy rock pool rambling, fishing, and breathtaking views.
Stay
There is no shortage of beautiful coastal holiday homes and self-contained apartments where you can sit back and take in the fresh ocean breeze. More budget-friendly options include holiday parks and motels.
