Where the Pambula River meets the Tasman Sea 🌊

Pambula River Mouth at early sunrise — the rocky headland, sand and turquoise water of Beowa National Park, seen from above. Shown here in acrylic above a navy linen sofa, where the colours really glow.

Sunrise at Short Point, Merimbula ☀️

Golden light on the orange rocks, a pair of pied oystercatchers on the shore and the whole headland waking up. It brings real warmth to a bedroom wall — here in a white frame against soft olive.

A quiet start to the week 🌿

Bournda Lagoon on a glassy morning — paperbarks reflected in still water in Bournda National Park. The soft greens and golds sit beautifully with an olive or sage wall, as you can see here in a crisp white frame.

Give your lounge a spring refresh ☀️

That wall above the sofa is waiting. Mitchies Jetty at dusk, the lone tree at Cuttagee, the pelicans at Fishpen — a little of the Sapphire Coast right where you relax.

Every print is shown in a lounge room setting, so you can picture it in your own home before you choose: https://www.sapphirecoastphotography.com.au/collections/lounge-room-wall-art

Built in 1847, Ben Boyd Tower marks the start of the Light to Light Walk. Here it stands above Twofold Bay in late-afternoon light — the rocky foreshore glowing amber, coastal heath all around and the Tasman beyond.

Down at the far southern corner of the Sapphire Coast, Green Cape Lighthouse keeps watch over the sea 🧩

This puzzle has the tall white tower and the keepers' cottages above a vivid green slope in Beowa National Park, red rock stepping down to the water and a big, moody sky rolling in. The grass, the rock ledges and the clouds each have their own character, so there's always somewhere to make progress.

Looking straight down on one of Eden's favourite swimming spots 🧩

The Aslings Beach rock pool sits beneath a headland of layered stone: bands of cream, pink and deep red rock, turquoise water swirling round the ledges, and white surf breaking over the reef. From above it's almost abstract, which makes it a wonderfully absorbing puzzle to build.
