Merricks Beach is a small holiday settlement at the end of Merricks Beach Road. The road ends at a foreshore reserve where there is a yacht club and picnic facilities. The beach meanders for over 2 km south-west from Palmer Bluffs to a more prominent bluff. Beyond here, East Creek Beach continues to the bluff just past the mouth of East Creek, at Point Leo. Both beaches are backed by 10 to 20 m high, vegetated bluffs, with a low dune backing the northern section of Merricks Beach. Access is at Merricks in the north and on the south side of East Creek. A caravan park sits on the bluffs on the southern side of East Creek. Both beaches receive low wind waves and very rare ocean swell. The beaches tend to be relatively narrow and steep, with deep water at high tide and exposed sand and reef flats at low tide. read more
