Overview

Clifton Beach sits about 25 km southeast of Hobart on the South Arm Peninsula and belongs to the City of Clarence. The suburb’s 2.1‑km‑long south‑southeast‑facing shoreline attracts surfers with its 1‑1.5 m barreling waves, although the same conditions make it one of Tasmania’s more hazardous beaches. Backed by a coastal reserve, vegetated dunes stretch up to 300 m inland and lead to the shallow Pipe Clay Lagoon, while the dramatic 54 m Cape Deslacs and 50 m cliffs frame the beach’s natural setting.

The Clifton Beach Surf Life Saving Club, founded in 1963 and Australia’s southernmost surf‑life‑saving hub, provides summer patrols, a 24‑hour emergency response team, a nippers program and regular community events. Residents and visitors also enjoy nearby nature areas such as the Clifton Beach Conservation Area and the Pipe Clay Lagoon Coastal Reserve, offering easy access to walking, birdwatching and coastal scenery.
