Tiddys Beach is a charming 700-meter-long beach located on the eastern shore of Edwards Bay near Macquarie Heads on Tasmania's west coast. It features a westward-facing curve that looks out towards the bay entrance, receiving waves averaging between 1 and 1.5 meters, making it appealing for various water activities. The beach is flanked by distinctive natural landmarks including the 10-meter-high Split Rock to the north and a dune-capped rocky point to the south. Behind the beach lies a scenic combination of foredunes and older vegetated dunes, which extend inland towards Teal Pond, a small dune-dammed lake. The setting offers a blend of sandy shores and rocky reefs just offshore, adding to the beach’s rugged coastal appeal.
Tiddys Beach exudes a relatively tranquil and natural vibe, partly due to its remote location and the lack of formal surf life-saving patrols, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the unspoiled environment. The coastal sceneries, coupled with the sound of waves breaking over offshore reefs, create a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation and exploration. Its unique geographical features and the presence of beach rips require some caution but also enhance the adventurous experience for beachgoers looking for a scenic yet invigorating visit.
