Rheban is 12 km south of Orford on the east coast of Tasmania, the last few kilometres on a good dirt road. Named after an Irish castle.
A wonderful sweeping beach that wraps around a headland to the south. Views of Toarra-Marra-Monah (Maria Island) and a smaller island called Lachlan Island to the east. A quiet beach in a beautiful area, likely with little or no other people so you can have your very own area of beach. No amenities.
Somewhat protected by Maria Island. A wonderful beach that is little known and a bit out of the way – highly recommended for that reason.
