Hands down, Tassie has some incredible beach towns in summer. But once the weather cools and the ocean temperatures plummet, we find ourselves spending more time chasing that laidback beachside get-a-way minus the Tasmanian tuxedo.
One of our absolute favourite winter escapes is Agnes Water.
With a protected swimming beach, 23 degrees in, very few sharks, no crocs, and a laid-back regional feel, it still has that classic small town charm without being overly commercialised. There’s a great mix of young travellers, families and retirees, plus waterfront cafés, juice bars, gelato shops, bike paths, kayaking, fishing, hiking and easy access to the reef.
It’s the kind of place where life just feels a little slower and a little simpler.
What’s your favourite beachside destination for winter in OZ?
