The Place at the Coast is a 1987 Australian drama film directed by George Ogilvie and starring John Hargreaves. It is based on the novel of the same name by Jane Hyde.

Teenager Ellie is distressed by forces that threaten the special family holidays she shares with her widowed father. These threats are posed by a new coastal development and her father's new relationship with a local woman. Ellie desperately clings to memories and places that preserve the memory of her late mother.

Plot

Young Ellie McAdams passion and shelter is the pristine landscape surrounding the village of Kilkee on the Australian east coast where she and her father Neil, an abstracted widower, spend peaceful holidays in a ramshackle beach house disrupted by visits from their obstreperous extended family. When Neil is blinded by the sudden rediscovery of love, Ellie finds herself isolated in her opposition to a development that will destroy the landscape forever.
