Little Mermaid Beach at Stingray Point is a scenic vantage point rather than a traditional beach, offering visitors a unique opportunity to observe the passing boat parade and local wildlife. The area is frequented by dolphins and is home to a resident pelican. It is not suitable for swimming or bathing due to its estuary location, and it is not recommended for small or overactive children.
The beach is located on a peninsula, with no direct vehicle access. However, parking and boat mooring are available within a short walk. The area is also accessible via a reasonable car park near the back of a nearby hotel. There is a small jetty with rails and two seating benches under shade, making it a popular spot for fishing. Additionally, a good boat ramp is available for those interested in boating.
The beach features a large adjacent Fig tree providing good shade, public seating, and a small lawn area. A sealed pathway popular with walkers and joggers allows visitors to take in the estuary scenery. Part of the area is also a dog park, making it a popular spot for walking pets. However, it should be noted that there are no public toilets available at this location.
Despite its unique characteristics, Little Mermaid Beach at Stingray Point is not typically crowded, offering a peaceful and tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy.
