The best area of the West Coast for beaches is Strahan, particularly for its proximity to Ocean Beach.Strahan itself is a small port town on Macquarie Harbour, serving as a gateway to the region's wilderness. While the town centre is more about harbour views and historic buildings, it's the closest developed area to the West Coast's longest beach. The main street, Esplanade, runs along the waterfront with various eateries and shops.Couples looking for a blend of coastal scenery and local activities will find Strahan appealing. From here, you're just a short drive to Ocean Beach, which stretches for miles and is known for its dramatic, untamed beauty. It's an ideal spot for long walks, photography, and experiencing the raw power of the Southern Ocean. You can also easily access Gordon River cruises from Strahan's harbour, offering a different perspective of the natural landscape.
