25.01.2022 Our estuaries, lagoons and bays are part of what makes our region so unique, and Boydtown Beach or 'Beermuna' captures our rugged coastal beauty perfectly. Nullica River and Towamba River / Kiah Inlet meet the sea along this 7km stretch of coast, which also borders Ben Boyd National Park to the south. If you visit, look out for the 'Killer Whale Trail' signage which will tell you more about this significant and history-rich site. Find out about the Killer Whale Trail here:... https://www.sapphirecoast.com.au/itiner/killer-whale-trail/ Photo by: David Rogers Photography Visit NSW Australia.com
24.01.2022 This photo makes us smile - it sure is a beautiful, mystical world we live in. These beauties were shot in Eden and isn't that water clarity just superb!?

23.01.2022 Picture perfect Tathra Wharf, one of many beautiful heritage-listed gems that can be found on the Sapphire Coast. This wharf is Tathra's main landmark - an ode to the legendary steamship era, when precious cargo was transported by ships up and down the coast. Today, it is the perfect spot to take in the stunning beauty of the coastline, throw in a fishing line and grab a coffee or three from The Wharf Local.

23.01.2022 Would you look at that water!? A pristine Sapphire Coast NSW estuary just out of Visit Tathra, surrounded by national park and flowing to the sea. Just the usual. Exploring our rivers, lagoons and beaches via SUP, kayak or canoe is a pretty neat way to travel our coastline in the spring while the water's still a little chilly - especially if you don't fall in.

11.01.2022 A vivid riverscape in Bermagui reminding us of the incredible land and sea Country upon which the Sapphire Coast NSW spans. In celebration of National NAIDOC Week, we would like to acknowledge the Tadjera, Munji, Djiringanj, Thaua, Bidawahal, Nulliker and Monaroo people of the Yuin-Monaro Nations who have occupied and cared for this region's land, sea and waterways for thousands of years. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first na...vigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. NAIDOC Week and this year's theme 'Always Was, Always Will Be' is about: "Seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history.
