Explore the Mountains, Waterfalls & Beaches of North East Tasmania

Within a 90 min drive from Tin Dragon Cottages you are off the beaten track where you can explore deserted white beaches, rain-forested mountains and stunning waterfalls in North East Tasmania.

Although unsealed roads take you to best of the Mountains, waterfalls and beaches, a four-wheel drive vehicle is rarely needed to explore North East Tasmania.

White-sand Beaches of North East Tasmania

Our favourite beaches to explore in North East Tasmania include: Waterhouse Conservation Area, Mount William National Park, Musselroe Bay and Cape Portland. These deserted white-sand beaches are punctuated by windswept headlands, sheltered lagoons and estuaries. Wildlife including wallabies, Forester Kangaroos, wombats and bird life abounds.

However for a more “civilised” beach excursion you may prefer a drive on a sealed road to Bridport. Because, at this seaside village, you can enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants or hotels! So ask us about all the beach possibilities when you visit. You can read more by searching our blog posts: Beaches of North East Tasmania.

Waterfalls of North East Tasmania

A half-day drive to Ralphs Falls, St Columba Falls, Halls Falls or Harridge Falls can be combined with a meal stop. There are terrific restaurants at Pyengana, Weldborough, Derby and Branxholm! You can read more by searching our blog posts: Waterfalls of North East Tasmania or viewing Waterfalls of Tasmania.

Mountains of North East Tasmania

Although some walks are an easy-grade such as Ralphs Falls-Cash’s Gorge and Mount Stronach walks, others are more demanding. Some walks require local knowledge – so ask us! But most include iconic temperate rain forest and views out to the ocean. You can read more by searching our blog posts: Mountains of North East Tasmania.
