The best area to stay in Friendly Beaches is within the Friendly Beaches National Park itself, offering direct access to the stunning coastline.


This area is characterised by its unspoiled natural beauty, with long stretches of white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and unique rock formations. Accommodation here typically consists of eco-friendly lodges or holiday homes designed to blend with the natural surroundings. It's a place where you can truly switch off and appreciate the remarkable Tasmanian wilderness.


For couples seeking a romantic and secluded getaway, staying within the National Park is ideal. You'll find opportunities for private beach walks at sunrise or sunset, wildlife spotting, and simply enjoying the tranquility. Many lodges offer luxurious amenities like private decks with ocean views and high-end fitness equipment, superb for a relaxing escape.


Families will also find the National Park a wonderful choice. The calm, shallow waters are suitable for children, and the expansive beaches provide ample space for games and exploration.

The best time to go to Friendly Beaches is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the coast.


During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 23°C, with plenty of sunshine hours. This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the walking tracks that wind through the coastal heathlands and along the beaches. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to relax and take in the stunning scenery.


For those who prefer a slightly milder climate and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are pleasant, typically between 12°C and 18°C, and the natural landscape is particularly beautiful, with wildflowers blooming in spring and rich colours in autumn.
