Bellerive Beach

Bellerive Beach, stretching 1.2 kilometers along the Derwent River in Bellerive, Tasmania, offers a picturesque setting with views of South Arm, Bruny Island, Sandy Bay, and Mount Wellington. The beach is sheltered from southern ocean swells by the South Arm Peninsula and Bruny Island but can be exposed to swells during stormy weather. Accessible via Victoria Esplanade, Alexandra Esplanade, and Luttrell Avenue, it features a family-friendly park with play equipment, barbecues, and picnic areas. The Clarence Foreshore Trail, a shared cycle pathway, connects Bellerive Beach to the Derwent River ferry service, enhancing its appeal for walkers and cyclists. The beach is also home to a variety of marine life, including a colony of little penguins that nest behind the dunes.
