Badger Beach, located at Badger Head in West Tamar, Tasmania, is a 4.5 km long exposed beach known for its high energy surf, massive dune transgressions, and crystal-clear waters. The beach faces prevailing westerly winds and waves, creating an energetic surf zone. It is backed by Holocene and older Pleistocene dunes, some of which are vegetated and stable. The area offers walking tracks to Badger Head and West Head, and there are holiday houses and a picnic area nearby. The beach is relatively wild and uncrowded, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a secluded, natural experience.
The surrounding landscape includes national park land, offering opportunities for exploration and observation of wildlife. Despite its remote feel, the beach lacks formal lifeguard services, so visitors must be cautious when swimming.
The beach's natural beauty and uncrowded environment make it a unique and unspoiled destination for those interested in exploring Tasmania's coastal wilderness.
