Ian I just dug up a few pics of the beaches along the way to Merimbula from my last bike ride up that way.

Seaspray (The 90 mile beach)
Lakes Entrance..View from above the inlet.
View from the shops area..It'd be a long walk across the bridge carrying your SUP board..You could paddle across.
The surf beach at Lakes Entrance.
The Snowy River near Orbost on the way to Marlo.
Marlo where the Snowy meets the ocean..It's a bit like Sandy point.
Cape Conran..It's just up from Marlo.
Mallacoota...Inlet/lake side.
Mallacoota surf beach side near Bastion Pt.
Jeez we're lucky to have so many great beaches aren't we..
