Hazard Rating: 1/10 | Parking: Varied | from Hobart: 27 km | Faces: West into Pipe Clay Lagoon
Original People: Moomairemener
Pipe Clay Lagoon is located on the back side of Cremorne Beach (Frederick Heny Bay) and is fed by a rivulet from the bay. A popular fishing spot with an interesting foreshore. I have often seen stingrays in the canal just looking up at me (they’re known for being inquisitive).
Well protected from the sea with a very gradual foreshore into a deeper canal. There is a jetty great for docking and the beach is used for launching boats.
Conditions change a lot depending on the tide. A very high tide makes it almost inaccessible, while a low tide makes it easy – (check tide here).
The low hazard rating assumes you do not enter the canal, as water can move very quickly at times.
