Cobargo

Travelling south on the Princes Highway through the beautiful rolling hills of the northern entry to the Sapphire Coast brings you to the quaint town of Cobargo, from where you turn off if you are going to Bermagui.

Cobargo is steeped in history, having been established in the 1860's. It is now known for its excellent craft, antique and specialist shops and older style architecture. You can watch artisans at work in leather shops, woodworking and potting studios and refresh yourself at the several restaurants and coffee shops.
