Snellings Beach
Located 3km by road from Middle River Lookout, Snellings Beach is approximately 700m long and allows you to beach launch, beach fishing, surf, body board, and any other activity you wish to undertake.
Fishing
Fish that can be caught in the bay are Whiting, Tommy Ruffs, Flathead, and squid. In the winter you can catch Salmon and mullet from the beach. The best way to fish is from a boat which can be launched and retrieved off the beach with a suitable 4WD. Divers can also catch nearby Crayfish and Abalone. For weather forecasts, bag limits and other useful sites please visit our links page. We also have several tips and recipes you may like to try.
