Wivenhoe Beach is the main public beach fronting the city of Burnie in Tasmania, Australia. It is a relatively straight and narrow beach extending for 1.3 kilometers from a shallow river mouth eastward to the rocky base of Round Hill. The beach features fine to medium-grain sand that compacts well. A seawall has been constructed in front of the Naval Reserve building near the center of the beach, with the remainder backed by a narrow reserve and the highway. A formal parking area is available for access. The beach faces Bass Strait, making it exposed to prevailing winds and swell. The surf hazard rating is considered moderate at 4 out of 10, and the beach is not patrolled by Surf Life Saving Australia. A low tide terrace approximately 100 meters wide is present, and the tide can reach heights over 3 meters, significantly affecting the launch area. The beach is adjacent to the Paper Trail path, which runs along Marine Terrace Road and features historical information about the area's former pulp mill. The water temperature in this region is typically cool, with an example temperature noted as 12.76°C. Paddlers should be aware of the significant risk of soft sand and wave action at the water's edge when launching, as vehicles can easily become bogged. The beach offers a direct launch into Bass Strait, providing access for coastal paddling along the scenic north Tasmanian coast.
