If you’re on a flying visit to Hobart and just want to dip your toes in the water, head to the bougie coastal enclave of Sandy Bay, where you’ll find Nutgrove Beach. One of only a few sandy swimming spots near Hobart’s CBD, you’ll see people strolling, paddling and picnicking here – even outside of summer! A bonus to Nutgrove Beach is the backdrop of fancy real estate and the ever-present kunanyi / Mt Wellington looming in the distance.
Good for: People-watching, dog walking (and patting), paddling, picnics.
