The Village by the sea

Bridport would have to be one of the most underrated seaside towns in Tasmania. Nestled in the North East of Tasmania, with the bushland reserve surrounding the petite town and miles of white sandy beaches in front.

Bridport offers beautiful beaches wide spread and private bays, excellent fishing, dune 4-wheel driving, animal watching and bushwalks via the surrounding reserve.

None of these take your fancy? Just to name a few, within a short drive you can visit Tasmania’s best wineries, a world-class golf course that is Barnbougle and world class mountain bike trials in Derby.
