The day was hosted by the Bridport Surf Life Saving Club and offered attendees the opportunity to take part in classic surf life activities like flags and boards, build a sandcastle, or just soak up the sun and keep cool in the water.
Event organiser Jim Dennis said the community event had routinely attracted between 1000 and 1500 people but was capped at 1000 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Still, he said it had been a successful day with help from the Dorset Council, Parks and Wildlife Tasmania, the federal government's Australia Day council and Australia Day ambassador Don Marsh.
The event runs until 3pm at Gofton's Beach, Bridport.
