Sitting just 30 minutes drive from Hobart, Coningham Beach is a tranquil escape along the sheltered waters of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.

Conningham Beach offers pristine sands, calm waters, and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The iconic boat sheds, which dot the shoreline, add a splash of local character, making it a favorite for photographers seeking that classic Tasmanian coastal scene.

For those eager to explore beyond the beach, the Snug Point Track beckons.

This scenic coastal trail meanders around the cliffs, offering spectacular views across the Channel and the surrounding landscapes.

As you walk along the track, the sound of gentle waves against the rocks below provides a calming backdrop to the experience. Along the way, you’ll encounter hidden coves and sweeping vistas, with frequent glimpses of Bruny Island in the distance.

The Snug Point Track isn’t just about the views—it’s also a chance to immerse yourself in the native bushland, where coastal vegetation thrives. The track is well-maintained and suited for walkers of moderate fitness, making it a great way to combine a love for nature with a bit of adventure.
