The extremely popular Richardsons Beach at Coles Bay has been selected as a national finalist in the 2015 Keep Australia Beautiful Australian Clean Beaches Award.

Glamorgan Spring Bay Mayor Michael Kent said this nomination was sure to make the iconic beach more popular than ever before.

"People within the municipality are by and large ecstatic it has been selected," Councillor Kent said.

"We've got our fingers crossed and we're very, very hopeful that we can get up there.

"Things are happening on the East Coast of Tasmania so watch this space."

Representatives from the community showed off their environmental projects to National Clean Beaches judge Averil Bones when she visited the beach recently.

"The Friends of Freycinet, who come from all around Tasmania, put in long hours of volunteer work to help National Parks rangers and Glamorgan Spring Bay Council run a secluded campsite, host school camps, maintain world-class walking tracks and even run an outdoor theatre," she said.

"Throughout the judging day, the care and commitment of residents from the adjacent Coles Bay township shone through as they presented their achievements, including running a men's shed, establishing great weekly markets, organising the Freycinet Challenge, and looking for innovative ways to control litter.

"This beach is a real treasure."

Richardsons Beach will be up against Port Julia in South Australia, Bondi Beach in New South Wales, Guilderton in Western Australia, Burleigh Heads in Queensland and Garig Gunak Barlu in the Northern Territory.

Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory won the 2014 Australian Clean Beaches award but will pass the title over to the 2015 winner at an event in Darwin on August 14.
