Many thousands of people come to Bermagui each year to enjoy fishing - the most popular sport in Australia. The edge of the continental shelf is closest to the mainland off Bermagui and this geography provides wonderful fishing grounds for amateur, deep sea and game fishing. The boat harbour has a safe all weather entrance and a large launching ramp. There are facilities around Bermagui for fishers of all types including boat ramps, trailer parking and a gantry for weighing in the one that didn't get away. Our beaches and lakes also offer fabulous fishing.
Children too can fish, in the safe waters of the lakes, pools and beaches of the area.
Charter and hire boats are available and you'll get lots of helpful advice from the friendly locals. You will find many beautiful bush walks and picnic spots in these areas. Between Gulaga and Bermagui, Wallaga Lake offer visitors a wealth of activities including many water sports and bush walks. The Wallaga Lake Cultural Centre is a display of Koori cultural history and contemporary activities and will give a fascinating insight into their history and appreciation of this wonderful area. To the north you can see Montague Island and a day trip there will introduce you to little penguins and seals.
