Beauty Point lies about 45 km north of Launceston, situated on the West Tamar Highway.
Within a short walk you’ll find Orari Bank, Middle Arm and Middle Bank (approximately 0.2 km away) and Sandy Beach about 1.3 km from the property. Several points and headlands such as Redbill Point and Anchor Point are also within 2–3 km.
The town hosts Seahorse World, a working seahorse farm, and Platypus House where visitors can see Tasmanian platypus and echidna. Both attractions are within the Beauty Point area.
Beauty Point began as the first deep‑water port on the Tamar River, serving the gold‑rush town of Beaconsfield and later becoming an apple‑export hub. In the 1870s it was also a centre for iron mining and smelting, with wharves and a blast furnace at what was then called Port Lempriere.
The local economy centers on sheep, cattle and vine farming, as well as a strong fishing industry. Maritime services, including the Australian Maritime College and boat‑repair facilities, also play a key role.
Beauty Point is the launch point for the Australian Three Peaks Race and the Launceston‑to‑Hobart Yacht Race, both well‑known yachting events in Tasmania.
