White Beach is a long sweeping beach facing west into a protected bay on the southwest side of the Tasmanian Peninsula not far from Nubeena. Several entry points to the beach along its length with the best access at each end.
Somewhat secluded you will experience a beautiful beach that is great for kids – presumably named because of its white beach sand.
A boat ramp at the northern end with a jetty that is good for fishing. Toilets towards the north end. Views of ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ Islands.

Hazard Rating: 3/10 | Length: 1.7km | from Hobart: 192 km | from Launceston 175 km |
Situated on the east cost of Tasmania in the Freycinet National Park near Coles Bay.
Rated as one of the top beaches in the world. Access is a 1 hour walk which starts as an uphill walk to the top of the saddle, then a downhill walk to the beach.
Interesting features and spectacular views. The beach has pristine white sand, crystal clear turquoise water and is surrounded by rugged mountains.
At the end of Wine Glass Bay beach is a small campground with some basic amenities, tents only and nothing provided including water. You can also walk to Hazards Beach on the other side.
