Merimbula Main Beach - Merimbula
Address: Ocean Drive
Merimbula, NSW 2548
The sandbank known as Merimbula Bar at the north end of Merimbula Main Beach is one of the South Coast’s true postcard waves. A lovely left-hander that enjoys almost total protection from the northeast sea breeze thanks to a bulky northern headland, “the bar” is at its best on a south swell.
The beach going south towards Pambula does see the odd wave breaking onto the variable sandbanks, but really this is just sunning and strolling territory. Middle Beach, just north of the headland, is a better spot for learn-to-surfers. A true tourist centre Merimbula offers accommodation from luxury resorts to motels, campgrounds and a YHA backpacker.
The annual Mambo Merimbula Classic, held each November, is Australia’s premier event for sailboarders, kite-surfers and stand-up paddle surfing – a grand South Coast spectacle. Merimbula Regional Airport services this part of the NSW Sapphire Coast.
