Pambula


A small historic rural town, Pambula is a popular resort village - one of those rare places that is easy to find and hard to leave. Pambula is at the nothern end of the far south coast region.

Where is it?: South Coast. Pambula is 473 km south of Sydney via the Princes Highway.

Things To See and Do
Surrounded by national parks, its peaceful lakes and idyllic river mouth are a far cry from the hustle and bustle of development following the discovery of gold near the township in the 1880's.


Pambula Beach, at the southern end of Merimbula Bay, is long and impressive and is noted for its surfing. Located beside the headland at the river mouth, the beach is remarkable for its wildlife. Sea eagles can be spotted patrolling the skies, kangaroos gather to feed around the caravan park and dolphins have been known to cruise the rivers in search of cuttlefish and other food. There is a walking track and lookout nearby.

Surrrounding area

Bega (34 km north) is a major service and administrative centre for a very prosperous dairy farming region. The town is situated in the heart of a rich and fertile valley where the Bega and Brogo Rivers and the Princes and Snowy Mountains Highways meet.

Tathra: a small fishing township located on a particularly scenic section of coastline, Tathra is surrounded in the natural beauty of both Mimosa Rocks National Park to the north, and Bournda National Park to the south. Tathra's historic wharf is the only remaining sea wharf on the East Coast.




Merimbula (4 km north): like Pambula, its close neighbour, Merimbula is a pleasant and popular resort town. Merimbula's lagoon, lakes and ocean are separated by white sand and fringed by unspoilt bushland stretching up into the mountains.


Ben Boyd National Park: comprises two rocky and beautiful stretches of coastline north and south of Twofold Bay featuring vivid rock formations, flowering heaths and banksia forest. The Pinnacles feature red and white earth formations; Green Cape Light House is the most southerly of the NSW coastal lighthouses. Boyd's tower and Davidson Whaling Station Historic Site stands as a reminder of the early whaling days when a pod of Killer Whales led by 'Old Tom' assisted the whalers in the hunt for baleen whales.
