Best patrolled beach
Clifton Beach. Consistent surf and regularly patrolled – great to learn surfing or having fun on a boogie board.
Best beach to snorkel
Tinderbox is a small beach south of Hobart, ideal for learning to snorkel. There are lots of underwater features to explore, and there are good amenities and parking. I also recommend the east end of Howrah Beach around the rocks.
