Snelling Beach
A quiet bay nestled among hills on the north coast. Lookouts on the winding descent overlook the whole beach, and it is good for swimming and picnicking.
Snelling Beach is in the middle section of the north coast. The bay is framed by rolling pastureland hills. As you descend the North Coast Road, lookouts overlook the beach and the bay, making this one of the most photogenic drives on the north coast. The bay is calm and suitable for swimming in summer, and picnic and barbecue facilities are available on the shore. It is about a 15-minute drive from Stokes Bay, so the two can be visited together. The road is steep, so drive slowly.
