Proudly selling the best ice cream on the NSW south coast, Merimbula Ice Creamery is all about delivering happiness, one scoop at a time. A beloved destination for locals and tourists alike seeking a sweet escape, this ice creamery is the perfect place to indulge in a cone on one of the outside benches or by taking a stroll along the nearby Merimbula Boardwalk.
So, about those ice cream flavours?
With no less than 50 to choose from, you’re in for a treat. From classic favourites like chocolate and banana to inventive creations like liquorice, Irish cream & scorched almonds or watermelon, Merimbula Ice Creamery caters to a spectrum of tastes. Adorn your scoops with toppings galore, be it chocolate buttons or gummy bears.
For something refreshing, opt for gelato or sorbet in blood orange, passionfruit or fruits of the forest. Feeling brave? Try the Kitchen Sink – 30 scoops of any flavours you’d like. Pick from pancakes, waffles or crepes, all slathered with vanilla, ice cream, chocolate fudge and fresh berries.
Wash everything down with a thick shake or pot of piping hot Devonshire tea.
I don’t have a sweet tooth, what can I eat?
No sweet tooth? No problem. Marrying rich, melty cheeses with fillings like ham or tomato, Merimbula’s toasties are a savoury sensation and a satisfying and hearty alternative if you’re looking to explore beyond the realm of sweet treats.
Also a hit are the hotdogs. Try the signature Top Dog, which comes nice and simply with tomato sauce, or the fully loaded Mexican with beef, salsa, cheese and sour cream. The Latin vibe continues with nacho options adorned with similar toppings, including spicy jalapeño for a chilli kick.
What else is there to see and do around Merimbula?
The sleepy seaside town of Merimbula has a certain kitsch charm and plenty of appeal. With five km of powdery white sands and turquoise ocean, Merimbula Main Beach is great for families who want to surf, swim, fish or chill.
Back in town, you can pick up the wonderful Merimbula Boardwalk. Taking around one and a half hours to complete, this scenic timbered stretch hugs the shores of Merimbula Lake, under shady eucalyptus canopies and through mangrove forests.
On your return, make your way to the Rotary Park Lookout perched on the craggy rocks of Middle Head headland. From this splendid vantage point, you’ll get sweeping Sapphire Coast views. There’s a kids’ playground and picnic benches too, so bring lunch, relax and soak in the tranquility of Merimbula.
