Seven Mile Beach, Lauderdale

Protected by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service, this stretch of Seven Mile beach is a popular, but uncrowded, recreation spot. It is literally pine fresh, with clean air and sand. There is an occasional surfing swell, but the beach is suitable for shallow bathing and ideal for walking the dog on a leash or riding a horse. Riding is prohibited in summer between 10am and 5pm. Barbecue areas, a golf course, an equestrian center, several shops, a tavern and a holiday resort are all in close proximity, making the area suitable for an extended stay.
