About Mirador

Mirador is a small coastal locality in south-eastern New South Wales, situated in the Bega Valley Shire near Bermagui on the Sapphire Coast, approximately 370 kilometres south of Sydney. With a population of 519 and a compact area of 1.77 square kilometres, it is a quiet residential community set close to the coastline between Bermagui and Tathra. The median household income of approximately 0,192 reflects a modest, community-oriented demographic typical of the South Coast's smaller beachside settlements.
