Wow. I’m touched that you thought of me! :)
I actually love the beach. It’s like my favourite place. I would so follow summer up and down the globe if I could. So pretty much every beach I’ve ever been to is my favourite, but unfortunately they’re not the most amazing ones in the state, sorry! And I don’t have many personal photos, I’m afraid, I hesitate in taking cameras to the beach in case they get sand in them and stuff. I’ll try and source the best pictures from the web though.
Let’s start with Wine Glass Bay You might have heard of it, it’s rather famous. I’ve only been there once when I was quite a bit younger but just the whole trek and everything you have to do to get there makes it so amazing and I will never forget it.
Next I’ll go with Hinsby Beach (sorry couldn’t find a better photo) in Taroona, just out of Hobart city. It’s not the most spectacular beach but probably the best in such close proximity of the city, and I’ve spent so much of my summer holidays there for the last few years cause it’s so easy to get to.
I spent a bit of my young childhood at Conningham so it holds nice memories for me, though once again not the most spectacular beach.
South East Cape is pretty amazing, though not your general hot summer swimming beach, pretty sure the water there comes straight from Antarctica. I think it’s a pretty famous surfing beach though, but I might be getting it mixed up with another one, I can’t remember. It’s one of my favourites because of a camp I went on in year 9, where we hiked there from Cockle Creek and back over two days. So much fun!
Really any beach on Bruny Island is worth visiting. There’s one I used to go all the time when I was a little kid. I remember clambering through all the pig weed to jump off the sand dunes. And my sister and I used to throw these little jelly like things at each other.
Fortescue Bay is another cold southern one where I’m sure the water comes straight from Antarctica but it’s more of a swimming beach than South East Cape and not bad in summer. I like it because once again I went there on school camps and it holds some good memories.
Bicheno is pretty damn nice, they get little fairy penguins there at night time and there’s like an island thing you can only walk to on a sand bar if it’s low tide.
Pirates Bay is nice, I don’t remember where it is exactly but I know I’ve been there haha.
And here are some pretty amazing ones in Tasmania that I am ashamedly yet to go to:
Bay of Fires
Chain of Lagoons
Beer Barrel Beach
Ocean Beach Strahan
There are more, I just can’t think of what they’re called.
Sorry for such a long answer, I couldn’t pick just one favourite beach if I tried. I hope I’ve enticed you to come to Tasmania more but our beaches don’t look nearly as nice as the ones whatthefluther has posted!
If you want I can show you more pictures of Tasmanian mountains and valleys and rivers and lakes and forests, we have more world renowned stuff like that than beaches haha.
