To get into Seven Mile Beach itself, you can use Estate Drive and Seven Mile Beach Road. These roads connect to Acton Road. In 2017, a new road called Grueber Avenue opened. This road links Surf Road to the Hobart International Airport and the Tasman Highway (Highway A3) through Holyman Avenue. This makes travel to the airport and other major areas much simpler.
