Merimbula
 Merimbula is a thriving coastal town situated between Tathra and Pambula. From almost any vantage point within the town boundary, a visitor can feast on the spectacular panorama of the ocean, lake and lagoon. North of the town, and only a short drive away, are Tura Beach and Bournda National Park. The history of Merimbula is linked to being an important port for the transportation of not only passengers but produce such as pigs, butter, sheep cattle, sleepers and cornflour during the 19th and 20th centuries. The early town boasted a thriving industry in the production of cornflour. Mathew Munn, William Manning and Thomas Mort were key participants in the industry until it folded in 1917.
 Visitors interested in exploring the history of the town can find more information at the merimbula-3original schoolhouse which is now a Museum on Main Street. The part of the town known as Fishpen is situated to the south of the main centre, and is particularly beautiful as it stretches along the lake foreshore. Recent landscaping of the foreshore provides a traquil place to take a stroll, have a picnic, or just feed the pelicans. Fishpen was so named because fishermen used to net salmon off Merimbula Beach and pen them inside the lake for harvesting and transportation to markets.The lake is a tranquil setting for a spot of fishing, or for those more adventurous types, enjoy game and reef fishing cruises (access from the Marina).
As a coastal town, Merimbula has the lot. Local Clubs offer Golf and Bowls. Merimbula has an airport providing scenic flights so you can take in the magic of the town from the air. The historic Wharf and Aquarium are not to be missed as a place to enjoy some fine food, take in the views over the lake or see the amazing array of fish in the aquarium.
Finally, the delightful and utterly unique boardwalk in the centre of town is a place to stroll along the edge of the lake, enjoy a cold Icecream or a meal in one of the cafes or restaurants.
At the top of the town you can find the best pizza around and next door find Top Fun, where adults and children can join the excitement of Ten Pin Bowling, Video Games and Laser Games.
