Beechford is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of George Town in the Launceston LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 22 kilometres (14 mi) north-east of the town of George Town. The 2016 census has a population of 90 for the state suburb of Beechford.
It is a small beach side village on the northern coast of Tasmania, 48.0 kilometres (29.8 mi) north of Launceston. Beechford is also the place where the Curries River joins up with the Tasman Sea in Bass Strait. The village is surrounded by farmland, and land administered by Crown Lands, the Department of Defence, and Parks and Wildlife, creating a natural corridor of unbroken sea views. This beautiful part of Tasmania, with its warm, relatively dry micro-climate and stunning beach and conservation areas, is still "undiscovered" by tourism, leaving visitors to enjoy the area relatively undisturbed.
Once a populated town with its own small shop (closing some time during the mid-1980s) when there were many more permanent residences, Beechford now has no store: the closest shops are in the regional centre of George Town.
Beach access is via a small sand track near the now-defunct football oval, or over a small foot bridge that crosses a tidal estuary. The coastline and white sandy beach is used for walking, mountain biking, snorkeling, kite surfing, swimming and fishing. Local swimming conditions, typical of the central coast of the Bass Strait, are normally calm and relatively warm, though conditions should be checked with Beachsafe.org.
