Ocean Beach, Strahan

You will find Ocean Beach 6km from the township of Strahan. This beach stretches 33kms in length running uninterrupted from Trial Harbour in the north to Macquarie Heads in the south. The surf here is full of strength and pounds its way to the beach, definitely not a swimming spot. The surf whipped up by the "roaring forties" ( strong westerly winds found in the southern hemisphere between the latitudes of 40 and 50degrees ) has at times recorded waves of over 20meters off the coast.
It is also a great place to watch the sun melt its way into the sea as evening falls.Read more
