There’s something unforgettable about waking up just steps from the water, feeling the morning breeze and hearing the soft splash of waves against the shore.

When you stay at Strahan Beach Tourist Park, this experience is inevitable. Nestled on Tasmania’s rugged coast, West Strahan Beach offers a peaceful escape where natural beauty and simple pleasures are around every corner.

Here are four things that make this destination extra special:

1. The unique waters of West Strahan Beach

West Strahan Beach has distinctive, tea-coloured water, created naturally by tannins flowing from the surrounding native vegetation. This gives the bay a unique, earthy beauty that sets it apart from other coastal spots.

While the west of Tasmania is often described as ‘wild’, the waters here are calm and shallow, protected by the harbour’s natural shape. It is the perfect place for a peaceful swim, or paddle.

Young families will find this beach particularly welcoming, as the gradual slope and soft sandy bottom make it safe for children to splash about and explore close to shore.

2. Perfect for families and relaxation

When you visit Strahan, there is plenty to explore, but sometimes you just need a day to relax, particularly if you are travelling with family.

West Strahan Beach is the ideal place. With lake-like waters and a wide, sandy foreshore, it’s a safe and inviting spot for beach games, sunbathing, a short hike or an afternoon picnic.

Shaded BBQ areas make it easy to spend the whole day by the water, sharing a meal and soaking up the natural surroundings. Play a game of beach cricket, linger over a leisurely lunch or take a quiet snooze under the sun… West Strahan Beach is the perfect backdrop for making lasting holiday memories.

3. A scenic spot to unwind

The beauty of West Strahan Beach really stands out at the beginning and end of the day. Sunrise and sunset here are peaceful, vivid experiences, with colours reflecting off the still water and the surrounding native bush.

It’s worth setting your alarm and heading out for a morning walk to watch as the mist gently rises off the bay — a truly refreshing experience that is quintessentially ‘Tasmania’.

In the evenings, the sunsets over Macquarie Harbour are spectacular, turning the sky gold, pink and deep blue as the day fades.

4. Direct access from Strahan Beach Tourist Park

One of the best parts of visiting West Strahan Beach is how close you can stay to it. Strahan Beach Tourist Park offers direct access to the beach, meaning you can roll out of bed and find yourself at the water’s edge within minutes.

Whether you’re travelling with a caravan, staying in a cosy cabin or camping under the stars, you will be perfectly positioned to experience the beauty of West Strahan Beach at any time of day. Start your morning with a swim, spend your afternoon relaxing under a shady tree, and end your evening watching the sunset, all without needing to get in the car or rush around.
