Stingray Bay
A sheltered Merri River mouth cove near the breakwater, useful for low-tide beach time, short walks, and calmer coastal plans.
Details
Visit Great Ocean Road lists Stingray Bay at 61 Viaduct Road and places it near the Merri River mouth, a short walk from the Breakwater car park. The attraction page describes a quieter cove with soft sand, a calm atmosphere at low tide, walking-path links toward Thunder Point, and nearby parking, toilets, and showers on Viaduct Road. Treat it as tide-sensitive rather than a guaranteed swimming beach: check tide, swell, weather, Middle Island access restrictions, and any council foreshore notices before relying on beach access.
