Ocean Beach is a long stretch of beach running north of Macquarie Heads and Hells Gates on the West Coast of Tasmania. It is close to Strahan and parallel to the Strahan Airport runway. It extends as far north as Trial Harbour and the coast immediately west of Zeehan. Exposed to the ocean with no landmass at this longitude between it and South America, this beach can be exposed to extreme weather conditions. In serious weather it can have large extended lines of breakers, and a swell at the Cape Sorell Waverider Buoy at up to 20+ metres. The mist and spray from the surf can at times give the impression of fog. Whale stranding frequently occurs along this stretch of the West Coast—and can be difficult to remedy due to the isolated location and low population numbers to assist in whale rescue.〔Montgomery, Bruce: ''The fatal shore'': ''"A Tasmanian beach seems to hold a deadly attraction for the whales that maroon themselves there by the hundred"''. ''Weekend Australian Magazine'' (2–3 May 1998), pages 22-26.〕 It was also the name of stopping place on the Strahan-Zeehan Railway which was on a part of the railway line where shifting sand dunes often affected the track. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ocean Beach (Tasmania)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
