Channel Highway | Hazard Rating: Low | Parking: Good + close | from Hobart: 58 km | Faces: South into Huon River | Length: 600 m
Situated between Verona Sands and Cygnet, turn off the Channel Highway onto Randalls Bay Road (or Abels Road), don’t forget to pay homage to the gnomes on the way in, otherwise you will have bad luck! Further accessed along Williams Road. A popular beach on sunny days – you may even see an ice cream van!
A long sandy beach generally calm bay as it is protected by Garden and Bruny Islands, may have wind chop depending on wind strength and direction.
Great for kids to swim and kayak. There are toilets and a covered BBQ area.
The west end is also the start of the Mickeys Beach walking track. A basic 3km (return) track to a small hidden gem of a beach (I am not at all biased because they named it after me!). About a 1 hour return but you will want to stay and take in the beauty of Mickeys Beach and maybe have a swim. 500m into the walk, a short detour leads south to the tip of the coast with views of Cray Point, Garden Island, Bruny Island and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.
