by concrete barriers forming both a
toddler and seniors pool. It simply
never seems to get warm even in the
heat of summer, and the steep staircase
down the hill is a popular exercise
destination for walkers and joggers
alike. The Bruce Steer Pool is encased
beside the main harbour for those who
need close and easy access to the water
and it’s a great spot for kids attempting
their first snorkel. There is almost
always a protected beach either in the
ocean or estuaries around Bermagui,
even if you have to drive the 8km out to
Wallaga Lake.
Bermagui has its own market on the
last Sunday of the month where you
can buy anything from fresh vegies to
second-hand goods. There is usually
a carnival in town over summer and
Tilba holds its Easter festival every year
in its main street. During late summer
there are the Seaside Fair, Sculpture on
the Edge, the CRAB’s Motorcycle Show
and every even numbered year the Four
Winds Music Festival.

lot of art shows, handcrafted goodies,
musical events and fine dining. You
