Merimbula Activities & Attractions

Activities & Attractions

The brilliant sapphire blue waters which surround Merimbula are magical for all forms of water sports including fishing, swimming, surfing, wave sailing, canoeing, diving etc. For the less energetic hire a boat from Top Lake Cruises off Lakewood Drive and cruise the lake at your pace.

Whales & Whale Watching
As well as charter vessels which take passengers to watch the whales at sea there are some great places to do shore based whale watching. To the south of Eden, Green Cape and South Head in the southern section of the Ben Boyd National Park are excellent vantage points to spot whales. Within Twofold Bay there are viewing platforms at the Rotary Park Lookout and at the eastern end of Bass Street.
