Long Beach, Sandy beach in Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania
The east-facing beach extends along the River Derwent, offering views of the City of Clarence and Blinking Billy Point across the water.
The Mouheneener people maintained a permanent settlement called Kreewer at this location for approximately 35,000 years before British colonization.
The beach hosts the annual winter solstice swim as part of Dark Mofo festival, drawing thousands of participants to the cold Derwent River waters.
The beach features a sea pontoon for swimmers, bathroom facilities, and designated areas for kayak launching with cleaning stations.
Volcanic stones dating back 26 million years line the banks of Long Beach, attracting geological interest including a visit from Charles Darwin in 1836.
