Overview

Swan Point is a quiet rural locality in the West Tamar council area, set against the north‑west, northern and eastern edges of the Tamar River Estuary. Situated about 22 km south‑east of Beaconsfield, it enjoys easy access to nearby coastal spots such as Gravelly Beach, Paper Beach and Lightfoot Bay, as well as the small towns of Hillwood and Robigana. The 2016 census recorded 282 residents, reflecting its low‑density, semi‑rural character and a lifestyle that blends waterfront recreation with open‑space living.

Road C728 (Deviot Road) skirts the south‑west boundary and Paper Beach Road provides the main entry to the settlement. Historically a summer‑shack community, the area retains a mix of modest holiday homes and newer dwellings, although past apple and pear orcharding has left legacy soil residues that influence building practices. Despite past sewer‑overflow concerns from Launceston, the locality’s proximity to the river and surrounding bays continues to shape its relaxed, nature‑focused appeal.
