The Scamander Conservation Area (473 ha) traverses a 12 kilometre stretch of Tasmania's tranquil east coast from the entrance to Hendersons Lagoon in the south to Dianas Beach in the north. The reserve lies midway between St Helens and St Marys, and takes its name from the nearby coastal town of Scamander.
