Sisters Beach history

Sisters Beach is a small town located twelve to fifteen minutes west of the commercial centre of Wynyard, in Tasmania's North West.

It started life as a small "shack" beach but lately has seen many spacious and quite expensive homes built here. Next to Boat Harbour, it is probably the best beach along the northern coast line of Tasmania.

It is located within the Rocky Cape National Park and is situated on the old horse trail known as the Postman's Track that once formed the only connection between Emu Bay (now Burnie) and the important Van Diemen's Land outpost of Stanley.

Sisters Beach accommodation Visitors to this area may explore the many walking trails or visit the indigenous caves.

Enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, swimming, diving, and snorkelling or simply walk the white sands of Sisters Beach and gaze at the magnificent crystal clean blue ocean.

The children will enjoy a swim while you bask under the trees at this pretty beach. many north west coast families make this a "family rendezvous" location for family picnics and barbeques.

Cold drinks and ice-creams are other food items are available from the local store and a walking track over the hills of Rocky Cape begins just beyond the boat launching ramp located on the far western edge of the township.

Birdlife is abundant with kookaburras, wattle birds, hooded plovers, finches, wrens and riotous yellow-tailed black cockatoos. White-bellied sea eagles are regularly spotted and tend to nest in Rocky Cape National Park.

Over 100 species of bird have been identified and recorded by local bird watchers at Sisters Beach.

The beach is home to plenty of marine life so fishing and snorkeling are popular here. Dolphins, seals and whales have been spotted from shore at various times of the year and large rays have surprised the odd snorkeler.

Sisters Creek is home to platypus and the profusion of smaller creeks hide an orchestra of frogs.

If you really want to get away from it all at a prime beachside location, it is hard to imagine a better hideaway than this - and best of all, it is definitely not over commercialised!

An increasingly substantial number of workers in Burnie and Wynyard now call Sisters beach "home" and commute to these other centres daily. What a lifestyle!
