Marlo Coastal reserve is where the Snowy River meets the sea. This idyllic park offers camping, fishing and boating in a natural setting just 90 minutes from Bairnsdale.

Stay at dog-friendly Corringle Foreshore Campground, nestled between the sea and a lake in banksia woodlands close to the beach.

Water and boating activities can be enjoyed within the estuary, where the sheltered waters allow for fishing all year round. Enjoy the quiet serenity as you drop a line or head to the beach to try your hand at surf fishing.

Explore the park on the fascinating Snowy River Estuary Walk. Winding its way from the township of Marlo to Mots Beach and ending at the ocean beach opposite Frenches Narrows, the journey offers breathtaking views of the estuary and the ocean beyond, as the path crosses through different vegetation types and habitats.

Set just over 5 km, the comfortable walk takes an hour and 40 minutes one way, offering a closer look at the natural flora and fauna of the East Gippsland region as you move through Banksia Woodland, Coastal Salt Marsh and the critically endangered Littoral Rainforest, important habitats for species including the Grey-headed Flying Fox and the Little Tern.

To stay a little longer, book a spot at Corringle Foreshore Campground, where you can fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean beneath a blanket of stars.
