Operated by Horse Riding Tasmania · Seven Mile Beach, Tasmania
Set along the pristine shores of Seven Mile Beach in Tasmania, Australia, the Beach Ride offers an invigorating 1.5-hour horseback experience framed by the endless sweep of sand and the steady rhythm of ocean waves. This stretch of coastline is known for its broad, flat beachscape where the Tasman Sea meets a landscape often brushed by gentle southerly breezes and bordered by coastal scrub. The ride is led by Sharon, a seasoned local guide whose expertise ensures every rider—whether beginner or advanced—feeds off the calm yet thrilling environment.
The ride begins with a thoughtful introduction to your horse and safety brief before easing you into the serene pace of walking along the water's edge. As the ride progresses, riders have the option to trot or canter, allowing the experience to be tailored perfectly to your riding comfort and skill level. Riding at your own pace with the wind cutting fresh salt air, the immersive sounds of breaking waves become a natural soundtrack to this coastal adventure. The horses are steady and well-trained, ideal for riders who want to focus more on the scenery than on horsemanship challenges.

Visitors often appreciate that this tour combines relaxed leisure and moderate exertion, making it accessible for families and seasoned riders alike.
Sharon's knowledge of the local area elevates the trip beyond a basic coast ride.
