Sapphire Coast

Dine with the whales this spring on the #SapphireCoastNSW. 🙌 Some of our favourite ways to take in the views? Wash down a dozen of our finest Sydney rock oysters at @bermaguibeachhotel as the whales breach in Horseshoe Bay. 🦪 Tuck into a hearty meal and @humpback_brewery pint at @tathrahotel with a front-row seat to the migration. 🍺 Indulge in fresh seafood linguine at @merimbulawharfrestaurant with uninterrupted views across Merimbula Bay as the whales swim by. 🍝 Or sun yourself in the gardens at the @seahorse_inn_boydtown before wandering the shores of Twofold Bay, rich in whale history and a favourite haunt for visiting humpbacks. 🐋 #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #australiagram #ig_australia #aboutregional @visitnsw @australia

Whale season is here! 😍 Experience the awe of wild encounters in nature this spring in one of Australia’s premier #WhaleWatching destinations – the Sapphire Coast! Witness nature’s spectacle as tens of thousands of #HumpbackWhales travel along our coastline from August to November on their way south to Antarctica. 🐋 Humpback #whales are known for their incredible acrobatics, best experienced on a whale watching cruise in Eden, Merimbula or Bermagui. And keep your eyes on the horizon whenever you’re near the water - whales are often spotted close to shore as they shelter, feed and play. 💙 Video by @sapphirecoastaladventures #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #whalesnation #humpbackwhale #merimbula @visitnsw @australia

There’s nothing quite like a winter sunrise at Tathra Wharf. 🔥 Preferably with a hot coffee in hand, thank you very much. Thanks to @davey_rogers for this cracker shot. 🙌 One of the best sunrises of the season (and the year we reckon). #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #farsouthcoastnsw #seeaustralia #tathra @visitnsw @australia

It’s always a good day for a walk to Green Cape Lighthouse. 👌 Located at the southern edge of #BeowaNationalPark, this lighthouse is the southernmost in NSW. Learn about disasters and survival, like the passenger ship Ly-ee-Moon, mysteriously wrecked below the lighthouse in 1886. Green Cape marks the end point of the multi-day Light to Light walk, or you can visit via car for a picnic and whale spotting!

Icons of the Sapphire Coast…Blue Pool. 😍 A favourite among saltwater swimmers, sunrise gazers and whale spotters, Bermagui’s famous Blue Pool is a must-visit all year round. If you’re not up for the winter plunge (we understand), we suggest swinging by Honorbread for a coffee and pastry before wandering to the elevated lookout to catch the sun rising the mirror-like pool. Just magic! Thanks @barefoot.blaze for this beautiful vid of your morning in Bermi. 👌 #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #bermagui #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #ig_australia #australiagram #placesweswim #fromwhereidrone @visitnsw @australia

This winter, discover one of the world’s most incredible human and animal partnerships ever witnessed at Eden’s @killerwhalemuseum. The museum was founded in 1931 to be the final resting place for the most famous and beloved killer whale of Eden, Old Tom - a legendary hunter, pod leader and friend of the whalers. 🐋 The building itself is striking, with a replica lighthouse and stunning views across Twofold Bay. Keep your eyes peeled for whales in the bay while you’re visiting! 💙 Photo by @harris1737 #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #visiteden #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #farsouthcoastnsw @visitnsw @australia

Icons of the Sapphire Coast…the Pinnacles! 🔥 Found between Eden and Pambula in #BeowaNationalPark, this spectacular spot has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. 🤯 Take a wander through the banksia-lined forest trail before glimpsing a flash of vibrant red through the trees. As you approach the lookout point, you’ll be greeted by uninterrupted views to the stunning sand and clay formation with a backdrop of turquoise ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for soaring sea eagles and wallabies hopping along the ridgeline. 🦘 Photo during the recent winter solstice by @davey_rogers #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #seeaustralia #australiagram #nswparks #farsouthcoastnsw #visiteden #merimbula @visitnsw @australia

Boyds Tower under a starry winter sky. ✨ Located in #BeowaNationalPark, this 23m sandstone tower was built in 1847 and was used as a key lookout station for whalers during the 1800s to early 1900s. 🐋 Boyds Tower marks the final stop along the Killer Whale Trail in @visiteden which takes you on a self-drive adventure exploring Eden’s dramatic history of whaling and famous killer whales from 1828-1930.

Dive into the pristine waters of the Sapphire Coast at our spectacular ocean pools. 😍 There are three main sea pools located along our stunning coastline, plus a hidden rockpool on the edge of Twofold Bay. 💎 📍 Blue Pool – famous among sea pool enthusiasts, Bermagui’s blue pool is 50-metres long and situated as the base of a dramatic rock face with stunning opaline hues. 📍 Aslings Beach Rock Pool – surrounded by pink and white cliffs, this pretty pool is a stunning spot for a splash in @visiteden. 📍 Bruce Steer Pool – an idyllic spot for morning laps, this netted saltwater pool is approximately 150m long and situated on the edge of Bermagui Harbour. It also features an all-abilities ramp. 📍 Thompson’s Point Baths – a century old treasure, this tiny rock pool is hidden on the edge of Twofold Bay in Eden and almost invisible from sea level. Only accessible by clambering around the rocks and beware of oysters if venturing here. #SapphireCoastNSW #WonderfullyWild #sapphirecoast #feelnsw #newsouthwales #placesweswim #ig_australia #australiagram #visiteden #bermagui #farsouthcoastnsw #voyaged #placesweswim @visitnsw @australia

Gems like this are in abundance on the #SapphireCoastNSW. 💎 👌 If you're looking for secluded bays surrounded by our iconic pink and red rocks, head for the coast between Merimbula and Eden. Known as 'Devonian' rock, this pink sandstone and red mudstone was deposited during the Devonian period about 360–380 million years ago. You can find it from Tura Headland just north of @visitmerimbula, all the way to Nadgee wilderness south of @visiteden. The beautiful spot pictured is located around the southern corner of Aslings Beach.
