Nutgrove Beach is a beautiful, north-facing beach in the suburb of Sandy Bay, Hobart, Tasmania. Located along the River Derwent, it offers stunning views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington and the southern parts of Hobart. The beach is roughly 700 meters long and features a steep, narrow shoreline at high tide with deep waters and boats often moored nearby. Historically, it was part of Long Beach but was separated by a basalt seawall constructed in the 1970s. Nutgrove Beach is popular for its scenic views and recreational activities, though it lacks lifeguards, so swimmers must be cautious.
The beach is accessible via footpaths from nearby areas like Battery Point, offering a scenic walk through historic neighborhoods. The area has been subject to coastal erosion issues and is at risk from rising sea levels. Despite these challenges, Nutgrove Beach remains a beloved spot for local events and leisure activities.
Visitors can enjoy the nearby attractions such as the Sandy Bay Sailing Club, Wrest Point Hotel Casino, and Long Beach, which offer a mix of marine activities, dining options, and scenic walks.
