Scamander River Mouth
Edit SpotAbout
It was a mad little spot. A bit of a holiday town on the east coast of tassie. The caravan park was chep as back in the day and it forms a great base for a surf trip. There are heaps of great waves within an hour either north or south of this place.
Atmosphere:
This is a good place to get consistantwaves on the east coast of Tasmania. I is your usual beach break/ river mouth set up. Its not that it doesn't hold it when it gets over four foot but more that there are alot better places to surf when the swell size gets up.
Additional Info:
You can see the river mouth as you drive over the bridge. It's a good 10 minute walk through te dunes. Park your car and on the north side of the bridge an walk in over the sand.

Bit of a walk from the road. But that is the cas all over Tassie. In fact by Tassie standards it was an easy walk. Pull up on the northern side of the bridge and walk down over the dunes. The dunes go forever so just keep walking east.
