The central focus for all the action is Merimbula, which offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment, including theatres, clubs and fun parks for the kids.
Pambula Beach is the premier holiday
resort in the Merimbula area, and if
you are looking for more peace and
quiet it is the best place to be.
It boasts a variety of picturesque
walks and white sandy beaches along
with lots of native wildlife.
Watch out for the kangaroos and wallabies thoughout the area, the beautiful parrots in the trees, and blue tongue lizards among the rocks. This area offers some of the best temperate weather in Australia.
Why? Because it's warmer than Melbourne in winter, cooler in summer, and doesn't have the humidity of Sydney and the north coast of NSW and Queensland.
Surrounded by a National Park, the peace and quiet of Pambula Beach is a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Merimbula itself, with a choice of safe, sheltered beaches for the kids.
Pambula Beach provides surfing,
boogie boarding and windsurfing, while the protected beach at the
river mouthprovides excellent swimming for the family. The clean
sandy beaches are ideal for
a stroll or an energetic jog - keep
an eye out for the local
dolphins surfing the waves.
If fishing is your sport, catch your lunch in the surf or off the rocks, no more than a few minutes from where you're staying.
Or perhaps jump on a luxury cruiser to take you big game fishing for marlin or tuna. Fishing from the local lakes or Merimbula wharf or bay is excellent.
Merimbula Imlay Lawn Bowling Club is the best on the coast, while the kids can go ten-pin bowling next door.
If golf takes your fancy, the Pambula/Merimbula Golf Club offers 27 challenging and scenic holes, plus the 28th hole is really special!
Relax in the luxurious clubrooms,
enjoy a great meal,
a drink and have a flutter on the pokies
