Red Chapel Beach is a secluded and picturesque beach located in Sandy Bay, Tasmania. It stretches approximately 150 meters and features a narrow strip of sand bordered by intertidal rocks. The beach is accessed on foot from a small park near St Stephen's Church. The surrounding area includes boat sheds and overhanging trees, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting. The beach is backed by a seawall with bayfront houses lining the slopes to the rear. Due to its limited access and secluded nature, it is less frequented by tourists but offers a serene environment for those seeking solitude.
Red Chapel Beach takes its name from the historic Red Chapel building nearby, which is part of the heritage of the area. Despite its attractive surroundings, the beach does not offer lifeguards or extensive amenities, making it more suitable for those looking for a peaceful retreat rather than an active beach experience.
The nearby suburb of Sandy Bay provides easy access to various amenities, including restaurants and hotels, making it convenient for visitors to enjoy the beach while still being close to urban comforts.
