About Bakers Beach

Bakers Beach is a small coastal locality on the north coast of Tasmania, situated within the Latrobe Council area approximately 40 kilometres east of Devonport and 76 kilometres north-west of Launceston. The locality borders Narawntapu National Park — one of Tasmania's most celebrated wildlife reserves — and sits at the eastern end of a sweeping 6.9-kilometre beach stretching from Griffiths Point to Little Badger Head. With a 2021 Census population of 72 residents, Bakers Beach is a quiet seaside settlement that draws visitors from across Tasmania and beyond.

The locality is inextricably linked to Narawntapu National Park, which is renowned as Tasmania's "Serengeti" for its exceptional concentration of wildlife, including Bennett's wallabies, wombats, echidnas, and Tasmanian devils visible at dawn and dusk. The beach itself is popular for swimming and fishing, though it is unpatrolled, and the national park offers walking trails, birdwatching, and wildlife spotting. The nearest town is Port Sorell, a short drive to the west, and Latrobe and Devonport provide full services and amenities within easy reach. Bakers Beach is ideal for nature lovers, holidaymakers, and those seeking a peaceful coastal retreat in northern Tasmania.

Bakers Beach falls under postcode 7307 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (McIntyre) electorate.
