Bermagui nestles around a safe, all-weather harbour dating from the 1830s and is famous for its fishing. The continental shelf is just 20 km offshore (its closest point to the Australian mainland) which means exceptional deep-sea fishing. In particular, the town is known for its yellowfin tuna and the famed black marlin.
Close to Bermagui, Wallaga Lake is one of the largest coastal lakes in the State, an area of outstanding natural beauty with special significance for the Aboriginal people of the area.
There is a Fisherman’s Co-op where you can pick up some local seafood as well as some quirky little cafes and of course the Bermagui Beach Hotel.
Main Beach offers a lovely calm swimming spot and you can also snorkel at Blue Pool.
