The Bega Valley Shire is also known as the Sapphire Coast for tourism and marketing purposes.

The Shire is the largest local government area in coastal New South Wales, with an area of {{convert|6279|km2|sqmi}}, and has the longest coastline of any local government area in the state.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} It is sparsely populated, largely because 75% of the area belongs to various national parks and state forests. Beyond national parks and state forests, the other predominant land use in the Bega Valley is agriculture, particularly dairy farming. Fishing, oyster harvesting, tourism and retail are also important industries.[5]

The Mayor of Bega Valley Shire Council is Kristy McBain, an unaligned politician.
