Long Beach

Last updated October 2026

Long Beach in Sandy Bay sits beside Long Beach Reserve, a City of Hobart beachside park. The council describes the sheltered waters of Little Sandy Bay, with a bathing pavilion for changing and a pontoon floating in the bay. The council page lists no lifesaver patrol. The reserve has a large fenced boat-themed play area, BBQs including an undercover area, picnic tables, shelter, shade trees, toilets, a drinking fountain and a car park. Testing shows the water at Long Beach is suitable for swimming, but avoid it after heavy rain. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or in the playground. Kayakers use the beach too. Within a short walk (OpenStreetMap): Sandy Bay Beach Wood Fired Pizza (restaurant, about 30 m), Beach House Cafe (restaurant, about 50 m) and Fresco Bakery (bakery, about 110 m), plus 2 more places to eat.
