Bridport: YBDP -> West

Bridport is best known in Tasmania for its coastal setting on Anderson Bay and for the nearby Barnbougle links golf courses. The town occupies the mouth of the Brid River on the island’s northeast coast, with beaches, a harbour and a foreshore that keep Bass Strait close to everyday life. Eastmans Beach and Mermaids Pool are established local swimming spots, while the surrounding coast opens onto long stretches of sand and low dunes. Golf has given Bridport a wider profile: Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm lie south of town and draw players to courses laid out in the coastal duneland.
