Overview

Merimbula sits on the edge of Merimbula Lake on the Far South Coast of New South Wales and recorded 3,821 residents at the 2021 Census, with more than 18,000 people living within 10 km, including the satellite town of Tura Beach. The town’s six main beaches – from surf‑friendly Main Beach and Short Point to snorkelling at Bar Beach – support year‑round activities such as surfing, fishing, whale‑watching, kitesurfing and scuba diving. A lively events calendar adds winter orchid shows, a jazz festival in June and a windsurfing classic in November, while retirees and families enjoy golf, lawn bowls and the local Magic Mountain theme park.

Transport is a strong point: Merimbula Airport offers daily QantasLink and Rex flights to Sydney and Melbourne, and the Princes Highway links the town to both cities in five to seven hours and to Canberra in about three. Local bus services run six days a week, and interstate coach routes connect to rail interchanges. Accommodation ranges from motels and self‑contained units to holiday houses for rent, reflecting a mixed housing market that caters to tourists, seasonal residents and the growing retiree community.
