weeks and not visit the same restaurant.
It has its own 18-hole golf course and
bowling club and a myriad of walking
and cycling paths around the area. If
the weather sets in and you feel the
need for shopping there is everything
from great little clothing boutiques,
gifts and speciality shops to a well-
equipped hardware store. The locally
made chocolates, wines, cheeses and
ice-cream should all be sampled and
shared around, they are truly yummy.
Stop into the harbour when the
trawlers unload their catch of reef fish
or tuna and marlin, it truly is a sight
to behold. If you’re not into fishing
but love seafood stop at the co-op or
Smithies Oysters shop, or if laziness
takes over drop into one of the freshseafood cafés.WHERE TO STAY
There are four main parks available for
camping – one in Bermi and three on
Wallaga Lake. The Bermagui Holiday
Park (ex Zane Gray) is situated on the
main Bermagui township headland
with all of the local facilities on hand.
The other three offer a quiet relaxed
atmosphere only a few kilometres away
on peaceful Wallaga Lake where there
are opportunities for lots of walks,
lakeside fishing and you can moor
your boat right on the safe swimming
beaches in front of your campsite. The
calm waters of Wallaga Lake are popular
with wakeboarders and skiers and offer
an abundance of bird and animal lifeplus the full range of tree-lined estuary
fishing, or maybe wander across to the
beautiful surf beach of Camel Rock.
All caravan parks have laundry
facilities, powered or unpowered sites,
cabins, units, boat launching facilities,
great kids’ playgrounds, corner shop
facilities, and most allow pets at certain
times of the year. Best check when dogs
are allowed in the parks.
You can hire a simple cottage or spoil
yourself rotten in Bermagui. There are
plenty of units, Airbnb’s and holiday
houses available offering a broad range
of styles and prices. We often see the
same people coming back to the same
accommodation for decades. Why
wouldn’t you – Bermagui, you’re a
beaut!48 tradeaboat.com.auBermagui, NSW
