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.

Mirador enjoys a relaxed coastal lifestyle, with easy access to the beaches, headlands, and fishing spots that characterise the Sapphire Coast. The area is popular with retirees and families seeking an affordable beachside alternative to more populated coastal towns, with Bermagui providing the nearest shops, cafes, a marina, and health services just a short drive away. The Sapphire Coast region is renowned for its whale watching, game fishing, and scenic national parks, and Mirador's position between Bermagui and the broader Bega Valley countryside makes it a peaceful base for enjoying the best of the New South Wales South Coast.
