Marino Rocks beach has a steep
cliff face and then a low and flat rocky beach, leading out to a reef on the southern end of
Seacliff. Fishing and snorkelling are common
recreation activities.
At the northern end of
the beach, the public artwork Contemplation can be viewed, by artist Marijana Tadic. Launched in 2006, the artwork takes the form of a rocked boat.
Also as of 2006, at the access point to
the beach, there is mosaic artwork on the outer walls of the
toilet facility. These were designed and constructed by South Australian artist Michael Tye. Michael worked with local artists and community members in the design and construction of the mosaic artwork along the nearby retaining wall.
