Boronia Beach, Kingston
The
Tasmanian coastline is studded with beautiful beaches. Some have received
accolades for the world's best hot spot like the Bay of Fires. The iconic
Wineglass Bay that could never suffer from overexposure, or the wild of Marrawah
in the North West.
The small
spaces on our coast don't always get the notice they deserve.
Between
Kingston and Blackmans Bay lies one such place.
Boronia
Beach is a secluded little spot accessed from the pine-lined Jindabyne Road where
you can park and walk 10 minutes down to the beach past bounding wallabies.
When you
take in the vista on a blue day you could be in the Mediterranean, the water is
azule. Of course, you’ll
be peering through Casuarina and gum.
You’ll come out
onto a small beach or you can walk around the coastline a few minutes to a protected
bay where the water is a little deeper and you can snorkel amongst kelp and
puffer fish, sea dragons and skate.
There's a
walk north along the coast to Kingston and it only takes 15 or so minutes. You
can go for lunch or a coffee. If you’re in need, there’s a stylish 1960s toilet block opposite the beach to the right
of the cafes.
Boronia Beach
is a lovely spot for a walk, a picnic or a swim. Take some friends so they can
enjoy it too.
Kingston is nice too, here's a post on 5 things I love about living in Kingston from a guest blogger John Stephenson.
