Beaches and bays for surfing, kayaking, rock hopping, diving, cruising or swimming. There are so many to choose from that you often get to enjoy it just for yourself.

Wilderness Walks

The Tasman Municipality comprises the Tasman and Forestier Peninsulas; combined they offer the most diverse day walking options in Australia. Choose from 35 fantastic walks in and around Tasman National Park. From 15 min short easy family walks right up to hard, steep, rough tracks for the more adventurous.

"There are long white sandy beaches and rugged sea cliffs up to 300 metres which are the highest in Australia. There are beautiful sheltered rainforests, including the largest remaining tract on Tasmania's east coast,
and diverse coastal heathland with sand dunes that soar above sparkling blue water." Peter and Shirley Storey, Peninsula Tracks.
