Overview

Hawley Beach is a rural‑residential locality in the Latrobe council area of north‑west Tasmania, set on the Bass Strait coastline and bordered by the Rubicon Estuary. With a 2016 census population of 484, the seaside resort town offers a relaxed lifestyle centred on its red‑sand beaches, minute crabs, hooded plovers and good fishing, while the nearby estuary is recognised by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area for waders such as pied oystercatchers. The community is close to the small towns of Port Sorell and Shearwater and lies about 22 km north‑east of both Latrobe and the larger centre of Devonport.

Access is provided by Route C708 (Alexander Street), which terminates at the suburb’s southern boundary, linking residents and visitors to the surrounding region. Housing is primarily low‑density, rural‑style residences that complement the natural beachfront setting, and the locality’s historic post office (1965‑1992) reflects its long‑standing role as a modest coastal neighbourhood.
