Ocean Beach, Sandy beach in western Tasmania, Australia

Ocean Beach runs north from Macquarie Heads and Hells Gates along Tasmania's west coast, parallel to the Strahan Airport runway, as far as Trial Harbour and the coast west of Zeehan. With no landmass between it and South America at this longitude, it takes long lines of breakers in serious weather, and swell at the Cape Sorell Waverider Buoy has reached over 20 metres.

In the 1940s local gliding and soaring club members used the beach area. Ocean Beach was also the name of a stopping place on the Strahan–Zeehan Railway, on a stretch where shifting sand dunes often affected the track.

Whale strandings recur along this stretch of the West Coast, and rescues are hard to mount because the area is isolated and few people live nearby to help. The name also belonged to a stopping place on the Strahan–Zeehan Railway, on a section where shifting sand dunes often covered the track.

Ocean Beach runs north from Macquarie Heads and Hells Gates, parallel to the Strahan Airport runway, as far as Trial Harbour and the coast west of Zeehan. It is exposed to swell with no land between it and South America, so breakers and a Cape Sorell buoy swell of 20+ metres occur in serious weather. Check forecasts before setting out.
