Greens Beach

Approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) north-west of Launceston and at the mouth of the Tamar River lies Greens Beach, a take-off point for Narawntapu National Park.

Narawntapu National Park has three access points at Bakers Beach, Badger Head and Greens Beach. The latter has to be the best reward for least effort; from the carpark it is an easy 270 metre (295 yard) walk to the West Head lookout for spectacular clifftop views along Badger Head beach and westward as far as Table Cape and the Dial Ranges behind Ulverstone.

In summer the population of this quiet coastal town swells with beach goers and holiday makers, there is a holiday park and campground just a few steps from the main beach, and for those who like to go ‘au-naturel’ there is even a clothing optional beach tucked away at Pebble Beach. Each year in May, runners are invited to connect and explore Palawa country by competing in Run Narawntapu.

Discover nearby Kelso Beach and enjoy a great spot for fishing. You can access Garden Island on Clarence Point, now a barren lookout point at the mouth of the Tamar River. It was excavated and backfilled towards the shore to improve the shipping channel in the river. There is good fishing here as well as a scenic lookout.

Getting to and from Greens Beach will take you through the Tamar Valley wine region, and you are just moments away from the townships of Beaconsfield and Beauty Point.
