Mayfield Jetty Road

You'll discover a hidden gem in Tasmania's southeast coast where quiet coastal roads meet genuine exploration potential near Little Swanport. Mayfield Jetty Road offers 4WD drivers a chance to access remote waterfront areas without the crowds of more popular routes, making it an ideal addition to your off-the-beaten-path adventures. The 1.2 km journey takes you through relatively flat terrain, allowing you to focus on navigating the track's character rather than tackling extreme technical challenges.

The drive showcases the understated beauty of Tasmania's coastal landscape, with opportunities to spot native wildlife and enjoy expansive water views as you make your way toward the historic jetty. The gentle grade means you can concentrate on smooth vehicle control and enjoying the surroundings at a leisurely pace. However, don't mistake accessibility for lack of preparation—coastal tracks in this region can present muddy sections depending on recent weather, so check local conditions before heading out. Spring tides and coastal weather patterns can also affect track conditions, particularly near the jetty terminus.

This short but rewarding trail works perfectly as a supplementary route when exploring the broader Swanport region, or as a training ground for drivers new to off-road navigation. With the Newtracs app, you can track your progress and document your journey along this scenic coastal track.
