Overview

Blackmans Bay sits on hills overlooking a popular sandy beach, forming part of the Kingston‑Blackmans Bay urban area and acting as a satellite town of Greater Hobart. Residents can explore the blowhole at the beach’s north end, fish from the rocks at Flowerpot Point, and walk the Suncoast Headlands track to Soldiers Rocks or the steep trail to Fossil Cove.

The suburb hosts three primary schools, Blackmans Bay, Illawarra (opened in the late 1980s) and St Aloysius Catholic, catering to children from kindergarten through grade six. Bayview Market in the centre provides a supermarket, newsagency, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy and assorted shops, and three waterfront restaurants add casual dining. Road connections such as Algina Road link the area to the wider Hobart region, and the post‑war surge brought many families, shaping the residential character of the suburb.
