SOUTH ARM | Hazard Rating: 1/10 | Parking: Good + close | from Hobart: 51 km | Faces: North East into Ralphs Bay | Length: 1.5 km
One of many ‘Shelly Beaches’ in Tasmania. Shelly Beach South Arm is on the eastern side of the arm north of Opossum Bay opposite Mitchells beach on the west. Well protected and not very well known about. A tidal shallow beach with rocky outcrops, bird life and of course… lots of shells (and seaweed), interesting to explore.
Access via Driftwood and Bangor Roads, ignore sign saying no access to Arm End, this does not apply to the beach. Good parking right above beach but no facilities. Dog friendly and ideal for a long walk along a secluded beach. Also has shore based boat ramp.
