Sapphire Coast: the far south coast of New South Wales is a region surrounded by secluded surf beaches, estuaries, wetlands and coastal lagoons. All this is set against the backdrops of the mountains of the central Great Dividing Range. The continental shelf is at its closest point to the mainland here, so fine fishing is afforded off the shoreline. It's where warm southern currents flow and the big game fish are in tow.
