About Greens Beach
Greens Beach is a small coastal locality in the West Tamar local government area on Tasmania's north coast, approximately 61 kilometres north-west of Launceston and 60 kilometres from Devonport. Bass Strait forms the community's northern boundary, lending the area its distinctive seaside character. With a 2021 Census population of 247 residents, it is a quiet year-round community that swells in summer as holiday makers arrive to enjoy its sheltered beaches and relaxed pace. The modest median postcode income reflects the coastal lifestyle demographic, with many residents drawn by affordable living and outstanding natural surrounds.
The locality punches above its weight for amenities, featuring one of Tasmania's best nine-hole golf courses, tennis courts, and a well-stocked general store that serves as a community hub. Greens Beach Caravan & Holiday Park provides accommodation for visitors, while the adjacent Narawntapu National Park — famous for wombats, Bennett's wallabies, and wetland birdlife — offers walking trails and superb wildlife spotting at dusk. Pebble Beach, tucked away from the main foreshore, offers a more secluded coastal experience including a clothing-optional area. For larger services, residents travel to George Town (approximately 20 kilometres away) or Launceston.
Greens Beach falls under postcode 7270 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Braddon (Mersey) electorate.
