One of Tasmania’s most beloved beaches by tourists and locals alike is Bruny Island’s Adventure Bay. Located on North Bruny, it’s well worth even the day trip on the ferry – but even better if you can spare a weekend or longer staying in this magical place. The east-facing beach is quite sheltered, meaning waters are clear and relatively calm, and there’s lots to do in the area: cruises, kayaking, whale-watching, seal-spotting, hiking and looking for the elusive white wallaby. The rare albino marsupials are known to frequent the bush around Adventure Bay.
Good for: Animal lovers, swimming with kids, camping.
