Lorry Bay at Miller's Point is a shore-entry dive site characterised by a boulder-strewn seabed and scattered wreckage. The site takes its name from historical vehicle accidents, with remnants of motor vehicles still visible among the rounded boulders. The topography slopes gradually from the shallows to a sandy bottom at approximately 10 metres. Divers can expect depths ranging from 8 to 12 metres, with an average depth of 8 metres. Conditions are generally suitable for beginners, though divers should be aware of potential surge. Visibility fluctuates between 3 and 15 metres, and the site is accessible for night diving.

Check the anchor first if boat diving, as some parts of the bottom are not good holding ground; the sand is more reliable than the rock at the south point.
Boat dive from Gordon's Bay harbour or Harbour Island. Shore access is possible from the sloping rocks at the south point, but involves a long walk from parking and a long climb down.
