Tasmania’s East Coast is known for its sense of history,
picturesque beaches, rugged gorges and headlands. Enjoy
a scenic coastal walk, swim on a sheltered beach, dangle
a line or simply relax here.
Maria Island
Escape to the solitude of Tasmania’s Maria Island,
with its historic ruins, sweeping bays and rugged cliffs.
After an easy ferry ride, there are no shops and no motor
vehicles, just friendly wildlife.
Lonesome William
Long, lonely beaches and shapely granite formations mark
Mt William National Park as a nature-lover’s retreat.
Located north-east of Launceston in a far corner of Tasmania,
it can be a day-visit destination or a longer escape. Its
landscape of coastal heath lands and woodlands supports
100 species of birds and wildlife. The uncommon eastern
grey kangaroo has found a safe habitat here. Despite its
solitude, there is still plenty to do – fishing, swimming,
watching seabirds or walking by the sea.
Fabulous Freycinet
The rugged, beautiful Freycinet National Park covers 10,010
hectares of coastal heath land. Not to be missed is a walk
to the perfectly shaped Wineglass Bay or try beach strolls,
swimming or wildlife spotting.
Dramatic Flinders
Flinders Island, in the blue waters of the Bass Strait,
is a montage of pink and grey granite cliffs. The wildness
of Strzelecki National Park and Killiecrankie give way to
gentle farmland and welcoming towns.
