Part of the South Coast and located within the Sapphire Coast region, is picturesque Bega. Bega serves as a administrative centre for government and primary industry, the production area for the famous Bega Cheese's and other dairy products manufactured and distributed from the town both nationally and exported around the world.
 

Centrally located within the Bega Valley the Bega area was originally inhabited by a group of aboriginal tribes collectively known to each other as the Yuin Nation, their main campground based at Wallaga Lake was the first NSW Aboriginal community to be granted title deeds under the 1983 Land Rights Act. Today the group runs the Umbarra Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Tours, operating tours of local Koori sacred sites, ochre painting, bark hut building, and spear throwing lessons.

Whether its whale watching from Merimbula or deep see game fishing at Bermagui there is much to enjoy, with activities as varied as wine tasting, bushwalking, horse-riding, canoeing in Brogo, surfing, golf, beaches, as well as visiting the many towns and villages including Candelo, Kameruka, Bemboka, Tathra, Tilba Tilba, and Wolumla, to name but a few.
