Exploring
Bermagui

The Iconic Bermagui Blue Pool

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the iconic Bermagui Blue Pool, a rock pool on the side of a cliff face. There is nothing quite like it in all of Australia. We were mesmerized by the crystal-clear waters and the seals lounging on neighboring rocks, creating a truly magical experience.

Exploring the Town

The town itself boasts fantastic local shopping, cafes, and restaurants. We enjoyed strolling through the streets, discovering unique boutiques and savoring delicious meals at the local eateries. The north-facing local beaches were more suited for swimming and fishing, as the surf conditions were not ideal. However, the serene waters made for perfect family beach days.

Natural Wonders: Horse Head Rock and Camel Rock

Just north of Bermagui, we visited the famous Horse Head Rock and Camel Rock. The drive was well worth it, as these natural formations were awe-inspiring and provided great photo opportunities.

Surfing Adventures at Cuttagee Beach

Further south, Ella found a really fun wave at Cuttagee Beach. This open beach, with its rock formations, worked similarly to a point break and offered excellent surfing conditions.

Discovering Armands Beach

One of our more adventurous discoveries was a secluded beach where Ella had a great time surfing. This beach, known as Armands Beach, is a local nudist beach, so you need to be comfortable with that. Fortunately for us, no one else was there that day. Be prepared for a bit of a hike, as there are a lot of stairs to access the beach.

Staying at Reflections Bermagui – Holiday Park

We stayed at Reflections Bermagui – Holiday Park, a reasonably well-kept park with minimal features. The park’s best asset is its prime location, close to the Blue Pools and within walking distance to the town and main beach.

Navigating Bermagui’s Roads

Traveling into Bermagui was a bit rough, especially once you turn off the highway at Tilba Tilba. The roads can be challenging, so it’s best to take it easy and enjoy the scenic drive.

A Perfect Family Destination

In conclusion, traveling to Bermagui as a family was an unforgettable experience filled with stunning natural landmarks, charming local culture, and plenty of beach activities. If you’re looking for a relaxed coastal town with unique attractions and a welcoming atmosphere, Bermagui is the perfect destination.
