Strahan is a beautiful little town which lies on the edge of the unspoiled Macquarie Harbour, and the only town on the unprotected western coast of Tasmania.
The Strahan Harbour is charming, with a genuine local atmosphere and friendly, helpful locals who will always point you in the right direction to help you see the best of the region.
Notable sites around Strahan include the Macquarie River, Sarah Island and the Gordon River. Gordon River is the most popular and you can take a boat ride there from Strahan, where you cruise through the World Heritage listed river and forests. The cruise is iconic and runs in all kinds of weather.
There are some great fishing spots and a nice beach with walking trails where you can enjoy an amazing sunset over the ocean – Strahan is one of the best spots in Tasmania to do so. About 15km from Strahan on the Strahan-Zeehan Road you will find a little turn-off to some huge sand dunes and a great view out to sea.
At Strahan you will find some cheap camping areas, including near the entrance to the spectacularly beautiful harbour.
