Popes Eye Marine National Park

The Popes Eye Marine Park in Stingray Bay is part of the larger Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park, showcasing the vibrant and colorful characteristics of the Great Southern Reef. Originally a man-made structure started in 1888 for a defense fort that was never finished, it has since evolved into a protected area teeming with temperate water fish species, seaweed, and kelp. The shallow inner waters create a thriving marine environment.
