Discover Boat Harbour Beach: A North-West Tassie Gem

Hidden away on Tassie’s northwest coast is arguably one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. Boat Harbour Beach is an idyllic, sheltered stretch of coastline complete with white sands and vibrant blue waters. Beautifully positioned between two rocky headlands, this hidden gem is a must-see on any northwest Tassie adventure.

Picture yourself lying on one of Australia’s most unspoilt beaches, gazing at crystal-clear water, spotting marine life in rock pools and enjoying delicious fresh fish and chips at the Surf Club — yep, that’s Boat Harbour Beach for you! 

Located just 1 hour from Devonport, this peaceful beach offers swim-friendly waves, gorgeous sunrise and sunset walks and breathtaking views from the rocky headlands. You can enjoy a wide variety of watersports including paddleboarding, jet skiing, kayaking, snorkelling and diving. There is also a short, scenic walk from Boat Harbour to Shell Point where dolphins and seals are often spotted. 

The nearby township of Boat Harbour adds even more charm to the region. This small, welcoming coastal community is known for its relaxed atmosphere, friendly locals and stunning ocean views. Visitors can stop in at the local beach café for fresh Tassie fare, take in the surrounding coastal scenery and make the most of this calm and unspoilt corner of the northwest. With its quiet roads, scenic lookouts and laid-back seaside energy, Boat Harbour is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the coastal lifestyle and extend your stay beyond the beach itself. 

Not far from Boat Harbour Beach you’ll find even more to explore, such as Rocky Cape National Park or the equally beautiful Sisters Beach — home to a river uniquely tinted by native tea-tree leaves. Rocky Cape National Park is known for its remarkable geological formations, abundant hiking trails and spectacular coastal views.
