Walk to the river mouth
The Snowy River Estuary Walk runs about 5 km from the township to Mots Beach, around 1 hour 40 minutes one way, through banksia woodland, salt marsh and littoral rainforest. It ends on the ocean beach opposite Frenches Narrows. More in our walks guide.
Kayak and paddleboard
The estuary is sheltered, so it suits kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. Surfers head out to the beaches at the mouth.
Fish all year
Bream, flathead, bass and mulloway, from the jetty, the banks or a boat. See fishing in Marlo for the ramps.
Birdlife
Look out for little terns along the shore and grey-headed flying-foxes in the coastal rainforest. Pelicans are often on the sand at Marlo.
