Greens Beach is located at the mouth of the Tamar River. There are several options for your stay: a short walk to the West Head lookout, golf on the Bass Strait, and picnic and recreational facilities. You can tailor your time here to the scenery, golf or local amenities.

Scenery and access to the national park

Greens Beach is a starting point for Narawntapu National Park; one of the park’s access points is at Greens Beach. From the car park at the access point, an easy 270-metre walk leads to the West Head lookout. For planning purposes, this gives you a clearly defined distance and a specific destination.

The West Head lookout offers cliff-top views along the coast from Badger Head west to Table Cape and the Dial Ranges behind Ulverstone. The view takes in both coastal scenery and more distant destinations. The 270-metre walking distance and the wide-ranging views describe two different aspects of the same outing: a short walk and a panorama featuring several named destinations.

Golf on the Bass Strait

Greens Beach Golf Club is a nine-hole sandbelt golf course on the shore of the Bass Strait. The number of holes gives the golf offering a specific scale, while its waterfront location also establishes where it is. If you are considering golf as part of your trip, you can also weigh Greens Beach against this distinct offering, rather than basing your choice solely on the views and access to the national park.

The golf course and the walk to the West Head lookout represent different activities: the walk is 270 metres, while the course has nine holes. This comparison may help you choose your preferred focus, depending on whether you would rather include scenery or golf in your Greens Beach itinerary.

Picnics and facilities

Greens Beach Destination Park has sports equipment and a slide. Its picnic facilities include three picnic tables and four electric barbecues. There are also changing rooms, an outdoor shower and public toilets. This park brings together exercise, picnics and practical facilities.

Greens Beach Foreshore Reserve also has picnic and recreational facilities. The specific sports equipment, tables, electric barbecues, changing rooms, shower and toilets are at Destination Park; picnicking and recreation are also part of what Foreshore Reserve offers. This means Greens Beach has two named recreational areas, each with different details to consider.

This gives you a choice between a short walk with cliff-top views, a nine-hole golf course, and local picnic and recreational facilities. Each option has a different focus. You can choose what to prioritise at Greens Beach based on the activities you want to include in your stay.
