There are some Summers you will always remember, like Summers spent on the pristine beaches of the Sapphire Coast, unwrapping a hot and salty pile of chips and crispy battered fish to be shared out near the sea, while on vigilant watch for seagulls… It’s a tradition!
Walk to the wild waters of the Sapphire Coast! Some of our favourite beaches are hidden deep within our national parks, whilst others are a shorter wander from our towns and villages. Pack your swimmers, water and a picnic, and explore some of our favourite swimming holes this summer.

Sapphire Coast estuaries are famous for nurturing award-winning oysters. 🥇 Along this pristine coastline, Sydney rock oysters thrive in unspoilt, tidal waters. 🦪 Follow the Oyster Trail to meet the farmers, taste freshly shucked oysters straight from the source, and discover how these waterways shape their delicate flavour.
Be it onboard an oyster punt with @magicaloystertours or @merimbulaoystertours, paddling a kayak with @navigateexpeditions or lakeside at a shellar door at @broadwateroysters, @the_oyster_barn, @wheelsoysterfarm, @tathraoysters or @wapengorockswildorganicoysters, it's an experience that captures the true essence of the #sapphirecoastnsw.

Spring seas set the stage as humpbacks guide their young along the Sapphire Coast, back to their polar feeding waters! 🐋 From Bermagui to Eden, every vantage point, or unforgettable whale watching cruise, offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s greatest journeys on the humpback highway. Each breach, mugging, tail slap, and playful calf creates a moment of pure wonder, one that lingers long after the spray has settled.
Incredible photos 📸 courtesy of @sapphirecoastaladventures
Witness the beauty of whale watching this spring on the Sapphire Coast.

Spring is a season of wonder on the #SapphireCoast. As the days grow warmer, whales, 🐋 dolphins, 🐬 and seals 🦭 gather in our waters, while kangaroos 🦘 watch from the sand and wedge-tailed eagles soar across clear blue skies. These are the moments that make this season truly magical.✨

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. 💙

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!

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!

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.

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.

Icons of the Sapphire Coast…Horse Head Rock! 🙌 Found just north of #Bermagui, this distinctive rock formation is more than 500 million years old and instantly recognisable. 🐴 We’ll be saving our rockpool swim for the warmer months, but taking a stroll along the elevated Murunna Point walking track (1.5km) is definitely on our winter to-do list! The walk follows the edge of the headland, offering up excellent views of #HorseHeadRock, Camel Rock and the stunning cove below, as well as panoramic views to Gulaga mountain and Wallaga Lake.

Whales, walks and wild encounters… we love spring on the #SapphireCoast! One of our favourite things to do at this time of year is lace up our hiking boots in search of #HumpbackWhales. 💙 Our coastal walks and headlands offer up lots of elevation and the whales often travel very close to our coastline so you can be right up close to the action, even from land. 🐳 Check out some of our fave spots…
📍 Long Point, Merimbula – just a short drive or walk from Merimbula with amazing views and lots of whale action
📍 Eden Rotary lookout – panoramic views across Twofold Bay, one of Australia’s most iconic whale watching locations
📍 Tathra Headland Walk – magnificent views out to the Pacific and Tathra Bay with elevated viewing platforms
📍 Bermagui Blue Pool – located above our famous Blue Pool, this elevated platform offers up great views along Bermagui’s coastline
📍 Green Cape Lighthouse – for those keen on a daytrip, Green Cape Lighthouse is the ideal destination for a whale watching adventure!

Baby whale season is here! 😍 Encounter #HumpbackWhale calves this spring on the Sapphire Coast Whale Trail. 💙 From late September to late November, we see mothers bringing their new season calves back down the coast on their journey to Antarctica. These baby whales tend to be extra playful and full of energy, creating action-packed #WhaleWatching encounters as they learn how to become acrobats of the sea! Jump on board with @sapphirecoastaladventures to be awed up close by these beautiful creatures.
