The stunning Sapphire Coast

By Darren Stones - Freelance Photojournalist

Australia is blessed with pristine beaches and coastal scenery that is to die for.

Sapphire Coast - by Darren Stones

The Sapphire Coast, located south of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia remains virtually untouched from development.

If you enjoy investigating national parks, love to wet a line, want to improve your suntan, sip a coffee by the sea, or catch a wave, then the Sapphire Coast is for you.

Witness the unloading of the catch-of-the-day, visit a winery, taste award-winning cheeses, grab a bargain at a market, attend a festival, indulge in delectable oysters, go whale watching and take in some of the local history.

Merimbula - Long Point

The towns of Bermagui, Tathra, Bega, Merimbula, Pambula and Eden all have that bit of sapphire magic.

If you are looking for that get-away-from-it-all experience then let yourself go.
