Beauty Point
Tucked where the Tamar Valley meets the sea, Beauty Point is a town in Tasmania shaped by water. It's a place where time slows, stories deepen, and the journey becomes as meaningful as the destination. For over 150 years, the wharf has shifted with the tides, its fortunes rising and falling, its history becoming part of the town's fabric. This is a place for travellers who seek sustainability, authenticity and real connection.
Just under an hour from Launceston and less than an hour from the Devonport Spirit of Tasmania terminal, Beauty Point is an easy beginning to any Tamar Valley itinerary. And yet, once you arrive, you'll understand why many visitors end up staying longer than they planned.
The river has done more than shape the land. It has carved out a rhythm of life. As you follow the Tamar Valley Wine Route, vineyards and farm gates appear like gentle invitations to pause. This is a region proud to be part of a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, where food and wine reflect a strong sense of place. The air carries the scent of salt and the promise of discovery.
Beauty Point draws a certain kind of traveller - thoughtful, curious, and eager to leave a light footprint while gaining a deeper connection to the places they visit. Stop for a chat with maritime students from the Australian Maritime College. Lend a hand in the gardens at Beauty Point Cottages. You won't just pass through. You'll become part of the story.
This is a town shaped by its past and inspired by its future. At the Sculptured Gallery, admire handcrafted works made from local timber. Support conservation efforts, meet the people behind what's grown and crafted, and contribute to a local culture that values care for the land, the sea, and one another.
Take your time. Let the road bring you here. Maybe you'll stay for a while. Maybe you'll carry something of Beauty Point with you long after you leave - a memory, a flavour, a feeling.
This is Beauty Point. Made by the river.
