Merimbula, Coastal administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
Merimbula stretches along the Sapphire Coast, featuring two lakes, multiple beaches, and natural reserves filled with native wildlife.
The area contains important paleontological sites at Merimbula Point, where scientists discovered numerous previously unknown species in sedimentary rocks.
The town organizes multiple events throughout the year, including a Jazz Festival in June and seasonal Orchid Shows displaying regional flora.
The town connects to major cities through Merimbula Airport with daily flights from Sydney and Melbourne, operated by QantasLink and Rex Airlines.
