Beachport
POP 350
'See and be seen: headlights 24 hours!' say billboards on the way into Beachport. A town
that's desperate to be noticed? A plaintive cry for attention? We like it the way it is: low-
key and beachy, with aquamarine surf, the famous 800m-long jetty, staunch stone build-
ings and rows of Norfolk Island pines. Forget about being seen − your time here will be
perfectly anonymous.
