Greens Beach: Golf, Coast and Narawntapu

Greens Beach lies at the mouth of the Tamar River and is a starting point for Narawntapu National Park. Along with this geographical setting, the area offers a short walk to the West Head lookout, a nine-hole golf course on the shores of Bass Strait, and picnic and recreation facilities. This mix is appealing if you want to balance nature views, golf, and time outdoors in different ways during your stay.

West Head: a short walk, expansive views

At the entrance to Narawntapu National Park near Greens Beach, an easy 270-metre walk leads from the car park to the West Head lookout. The short distance makes it an easy addition to your itinerary, with a distinctive destination. From the lookout, the clifftop view stretches west along Badger Head beach to Table Cape; the Dial Ranges are visible beyond Ulverstone. The walk combines a manageable distance with views of several named landmarks. If you’d like to include a nature outing in your plans, the combination of a short walk and expansive views offers a clear point of reference.

Golf on Bass Strait

Greens Beach Golf Club is a nine-hole sandbelt golf course on the shores of Bass Strait. The number of holes gives the course a clearly defined format, while its waterfront setting provides the scenic backdrop. The golf course offers a different focus from the walk to the West Head lookout: golf here, a walk to a lookout there. These are different reasons to include Greens Beach in your travel plans: an interest in golf or a desire for a short walk with expansive views. If you’re weighing up different activities for your stay, you can distinguish a sporting focus from a nature outing.

Picnics and recreation at Greens Beach Destination Park

Greens Beach Destination Park has exercise equipment and a slide. It also has three picnic tables and four electric barbecues. Change rooms, an outdoor shower, and public toilets round out the facilities. For families, the slide is a specific feature; the exercise equipment and picnic facilities offer other ways to enjoy time outdoors. The three tables and four barbecues also give you a practical point of reference if you’re planning a picnic break as part of your day. You can also factor in the change rooms and shower when planning your outdoor activities.

Greens Beach Foreshore Reserve also has picnic and recreation facilities. The reserve is another named option for spending time outdoors in Greens Beach. Alongside the specific facilities at Destination Park, it offers a different focus for an outing than the lookout or golf course: here, picnics and outdoor relaxation take centre stage.

Greens Beach as a base for your stay

The picnic and recreation facilities can also help you decide which activities you want to shape your stay. Greens Beach is a starting point for the national park; this feature of the town can help guide your choice of destination.
