Potato Point is a small coastal village between Tuross Head and Narooma, with a boat ramp on an exposed rocky point. The Marine Life Network lists it as a rocky shoreline offering good snorkelling and diving in calm weather. The Nature Coast Marine Group gives a fuller description: fairly exposed, needing swell under a metre and no northerly winds, with a rip current at the boat ramp. Its habitat list includes rocky reef bommies, kelp forests, urchin barrens and cunjevoi, and the marine life recorded includes rock cale, blue groper, wrasses, moray eels, luderick, stingrays, eagle rays, fiddler rays, Port Jackson sharks, wobbegongs, juvenile fish, octopus, cuttlefish and squid.

This mix makes Potato Point one of the more interesting shore sites between Moruya and Narooma. The bommies break up the reef and give shelter to morays and wobbegongs, while the kelp forest holds wrasse, luderick and juvenile fish. Rays are common on the sand patches, and cephalopods – octopus, cuttlefish and squid – are regular sightings, particularly at dusk.

The site suits experienced snorkellers and shore divers on calm days. Exposure is the key issue: the Nature Coast Marine Group rates it for experienced snorkellers because of swell and the rip. With the right conditions it is a rewarding and uncrowded dive. The village has limited facilities, so bring what you need; the nearest dive shops are in Narooma. Night dives here are productive for cephalopods, but only with a well-known entry and flat seas, because the ramp rip is harder to judge in the dark.

From the Princes Highway between Moruya and Narooma, turn east onto Potato Point Road and follow it to the village and boat ramp. The Nature Coast Marine Group describes access via Potato Point Road to the boat ramp, where there is a toilet and a cold shower. Park near the ramp, enter beside it (watch for the rip current at the ramp) and swim out to the bommies.

The Nature Coast Marine Group describes the point as fairly exposed, needing swell under 1 m and no northerly winds, and warns of a rip current at the boat ramp. The Marine Life Network says it offers good snorkelling and diving in calm weather. Southerly or westerly winds and flat seas are ideal.

Visibility is reduced after rain.

Enter beside the boat ramp, avoiding the rip, and swim out to the rocky bommies. Explore the kelp forest and barrens between the bommies at 4–10 m, turn at half gas and return to the ramp.

No scheduled operator. Listed by the Marine Life Network as good snorkelling and diving in calm weather and by the Nature Coast Marine Group as an experienced snorkel site.
