Overview

Hawley Beach is a rural‑residential locality in the Latrobe council area of north‑west Tasmania, situated about 22 km north‑east of Latrobe and the same distance from the larger centre of Devonport. At the 2016 census the suburb recorded 484 residents, reflecting its blend of permanent homes and holiday properties that line the seaside resort town. The community enjoys easy beachside living, with opportunities for fishing, spotting minute red‑sand crabs and hooded plovers, and birdwatching along the adjacent Rubicon Estuary, an internationally recognised Important Bird Area for waders such as pied oystercatchers.

Access to Hawley Beach is provided by Route C708 (Alexander Street), which enters the suburb and ends at its southern fringe, linking the area to the surrounding region. Its coastal position borders Bass Strait to the west, north and east, and the locality sits close to neighboring settlements such as Port Sorell and Shearwater, as well as several nearby islands, including Majors Rocks and Penguin Island, offering additional recreational appeal.
