If you’re in Tasmania to escape the hustle of the mainland, then chances are you’re in the market for the most secluded beach imaginable, right? Well look no further than Cockle Creek – literally, you can’t go any further than this in Tassie. The most southern spot in the state (and therefore the entire country), you’ll find the quietest and most serene beaches within the Southwest National Park. With some great short walks and fascinating history (including a random weather-beaten gravestone in the sand dunes), this is what swimming at the edge of the world feels like.
Good for: Peace and quiet, history buffs, hikers, bird-watchers.
