If you want the best seat in Merimbula this Sunday morning to watch the finishers of the wharf to wharf run, you’ll want to lock it in early—because once the Wharf fills up, there won’t be another view like it.

This Sunday, the Winter Sun Festival Wharf-to-Wharf Run from Tathra to Merimbula will be finishing right under us at Merimbula Wharf Restaurant and Aquarium, with finishers arriving from around 10am through to midday.

It’s one of those mornings where the Wharf turns into something unforgettable—cheers echoing across the water, runners pushing through the final stretch, and the whole community gathered to celebrate every finish.

And the best part? You can watch it all unfold over breakfast or a simple coffee and cakes.

But here’s the catch: tables with the best views will book out fast for this. If you want to be right on the action as the finishers come in, don’t leave it too late.

Secure your spot now, grab breakfast, and be part of the atmosphere instead of watching it from the sidelines.

A little recap of life lately at the Wharf 🌊🍸🍽️

Cocktails being shaken, fresh food hitting the pass, busy tables, waterfront views, and all the moments in between ✨

And of course… no recap would be complete without our official hand model Lara making a guest appearance 😂
Safe to say the cocktail didn’t quite survive the final shot 💀🍹

Thanks for keeping us busy, Merimbula — we love what we do 💙
