Taroona Beach is a hidden gem of a beach south of Hobart with good parking, toilets, a playground and BBQ area. The beach has an interesting foreshore with rock formations jutting out everywhere and being a low-hazard beach is great for small kids to explore.
It’s a bit hard to find but worth it when you get there. Head down Taroona Crescent and you will eventually arrive at the beach.
Did I mention you can also launch a boat?
