Greens Beach
Few places in northern Tasmania have a history as closely tied to coastal holidaymaking as Greens Beach. This small settlement occupies a low, tree-lined shore on Bass Strait beside the wide mouth of the Tamar River, at the northern end of the West Tamar district. Its broad sandy foreshore has long made it a summer retreat for Tasmanians, while headlands and coastal bushland retain a distinctly rural character. Across the river entrance, Low Head marks the maritime approach to Launceston; its historic pilot station, established in 1805, is among Australia’s oldest. Greens Beach also lies within reach of the Tamar Valley, a wine-growing region whose cellar doors and farms connect the coast with northern Tasmania’s food culture.

Greens Beach lies on the Bass Strait coast near the mouth of Tasmania’s Tamar River, where sand, coastal heath and bushland meet the broad estuary. This small holiday settlement borders Narawntapu National Park, a protected section of northern Tasmania’s coast with beaches, wetlands and habitat for native wildlife. Across the Tamar at Low Head, a lighthouse precinct recalls the river’s long maritime importance. Greens Beach is well suited to quiet shoreline walks and time by the water, away from Tasmania’s larger towns. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Tasmania’s north coast.
