Moorland Beach Road

You'll discover a hidden gem along Tasmania's northern coast with Moorland Beach Road, a short but scenic coastal access route near Wesley Vale. This 0.6 km trail offers 4WD enthusiasts an opportunity to explore a quieter stretch of Tasmania's beachside landscape, providing access to areas that reward curious off-road drivers with natural beauty and solitude. The gentle terrain makes it an ideal trail for those new to off-roading or looking for a leisurely coastal adventure.

The drive itself is straightforward, with minimal gradient challenges allowing you to focus on the coastal scenery unfolding around you. You'll navigate through moorland terrain typical of this region, with native vegetation framing your approach to the beach. The relatively flat grade means you won't face steep climbs or technical obstacles, making this trail accessible to a wider range of vehicles and driving experience levels. However, being a coastal access route, you should be prepared for potentially soft sand, moisture-laden ground conditions, and variable terrain that can shift seasonally.

Before heading out, check local conditions and tide times, as coastal trails can be affected by weather and tidal changes. Bring supplies including water and a basic recovery kit, and ensure your vehicle is suitable for beach and moorland driving. While this trail remains unrated and untracked on Newtracs, it represents the kind of hidden coastal exploration that makes off-roading in Tasmania rewarding.
