West Tamar - Gravelly Beach

Gravelly Beach, is another small riverside town.

These places have a lot of houses for the size of the town. They are close enough to Launceston that most people would go there for shopping and other services, or nearby Exeter for quick visits.

As you come into Gravelly Beach from the north, there's a long section along the river with newer houses, then the older ones and then this little shopping centre, if you can call it that.

There's a general store, which provides most of the local services, including the post office.






Opposite the shops, there is parking and the river.




Around the corner, there's a good park and playground, and the marina which is probably what brings most visitors, other than those driving through looking for somewhere to eat.
