Favourite Beaches in Tassie (South of Hobart)

---

Tasmania is a small island with a population of approximately 500,000. Of course, being an island there are quite a lot of beaches... Sometimes I think there is a beach for each person in Tassie. If you go to a beach, it's "crowded" if there are more than ten people.... We are lucky...

Of course, living in Hobart, we spend our summer weekends relatively close to Hobart. There's no point driving a few more hours when you have a huge choice of beaches just a relatively short drive away.

There are favourite places we go to for a weekend and we make choices usually based on the weather forecast and what other activities we might plan to be doing. Our favourites include:



Drip Beach near Cygnet

Randalls Beach and Middleton Beach down south.

Bruny Island has plenty of great beaches

Cockle Creek and the great SW Wilderness are great for the soul when it is not crowded.



Near Hobart, we enjoy Cornelian Bay and walking or kayaking around the docks close to the city.



Check out our other posts on fabulous beaches up in the North of the state, on the West Coast and the East Coast. Some require a long weekend or a few days off work if you are driving from Hobart (in a slow bus).
