There’s nothing like packing a bag and hitting the open road. With beautiful roads that weave along the coast and the stunning landscape that is Australia, what’s not to love? Just hours away from Sydney are some of the best sights the world has to offer. For your next holiday, consider cruising in your car to some undiscovered places that will blow your mind.
The Wonders of Bermagui
This coastal village is at the northern top of the Sapphire Coast, which is perfect for any traveller hailing from Sydney. Bermagui is the perfect place for deep-sea fishing, and it’s very easy to hire a boat and get out onto the water. You can also visit the only seaside goldfield here, which is worth the stop. For those that enjoy interesting rock formations, Camel Rock and Horsehead Rock both reside in this fishing town.
Watch Out for Whales in Eden
Another beautiful coastal town is Eden, which is well-known for its’ whale watching. There’s even a Killer Whale museum, where you can learn a bit of background history. Whale watching in Australia is very popular during the Southern Migration, which is typically during the months of September to November. During this time, there are plenty of whale watching Eden tours, so it is easy to book. You may also see dolphins, Orcas, and plenty of other marine life. Pack a camera!
Take a Big Bite Out of Bega
Australia has some excellent food, and Bega is no exception. Bega is hailed as a cheese haven, and there is a cheese heritage centre for true enthusiasts. The local milk has produced some award-winning cheeses, so be sure to take yourself on a mini cheese tour around the area. The Bega River is a great spot to sit in your post-cheese-induced coma and digest while watching the water pass you by.
Shuck Your Own Oysters in Merimbula
Merimbula’s hotspot in the town is definitely the oyster farm, where you can learn about the history of oysters. Merimbula lake offers these tasty treats, and you will even have the opportunity to try your hand at shucking an oyster of your own! Relax on the boardwalk after for a wonderful finish to the day.
The Sapphire Coast has picturesque views and a plethora of things to offer. When planning your next trip, be sure to include the Sapphire Coast in your travels for an experience unlike any other.
