Quarry Beach is a secluded, sheltered pocket beach on the southern side of Mallacoota Inlet, within the Croajingolong National Park in far-east Gippsland, Victoria. Nestled among granite boulders and eucalypt forest, this calm, shallow cove offers clear, protected waters ideal for spotting stingrays, flathead and small reef fish. Access is via a short walking track through coastal bushland, rewarding snorkelers with a peaceful, uncrowded slice of Victoria's Wilderness Coast.
