Beechford is a small beach side town on the northern coast of Tasmania. Not far from Georgetown Tasmania just 13.6 kilometres (8.5 mi) and 48.0 kilometres (29.8 mi) north of Launceston, is the tiny seaside town of Beechford. The place where the Curries River joins up with the Tasman Sea in Bass Strait.
The turnoff to this place is found on the Georgetown to Bridport Road through Lefroy and it is a place that is yet to be “discovered” by tourism. Alternately, there is a gravel road that leads directly to Beechford, turning off the East Tamar Highway between Georgetown and Lowhead.
Just south is the military training area of Stony Head.
