Emergency services were called to rescue the girl whose leg was stuck between rocks at the popular spot near the Hopkins River mouth just after 9pm.
Warrnambool SES spokesman Adam Jones said paramedics freed the girl’s leg before SES volunteers carried her to a waiting ambulance.
She was taken to Warrnambool Base Hospital.
“With the nicer weather upon us, tonight’s incident serves as a timely reminder for people to take care in unfamiliar environments especially in the failing light and the hazards this can present,” Mr Jones said.
He said 12 SES volunteers joined ambulance and police at the scene.
