Coningham Clifftop Track

From the white sands of Coningham Beach take this wonderful bush walk along the cliffs with spectacular views across North West Bay to kunanyi/Mt Wellington, Tinderbox and Bruny Island.

Along the way you will often see white-bellied sea eagles soaring overhead. During morning and evening walks the bush will ring with birdsong.

Halfway along you will come to Legacy Beach. There is a wonderful variety of vegetation along the track: flowering heath beneath tall blue gums, white gums favoured by the endangered forty-spotted pardalote, stands of sheoaks, and patches of native grasses where you will find lovely golden bulbine-lilies.

Coningham Beach is a safe family beach for swimming, paddling, boating and picnicking.

This track is managed by Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Services.

⏱ Time: 1.5 hours return.
🚶‍♂️ Distance: 3.8 km return.
🚗 Parking: Ample parking at the main Coningham Beach carpark (no parking or vehicle access past that point).
✅ Accessible for dogs on leads.
⚠️ Beach then narrow bush track with some steep sections. Do not approach cliff edges. Closely supervise children.

🗺 See map in photos for more details.

Your feedback will help inform Council's future planning and ensure arts and creative opportunities continue to reflect the interests and needs of our community.

The survey launch coincides with the upcoming Kingborough Art Prize Exhibition & Sale, opening at the Kingborough Community Hub from 17 to 27 September, with the official opening event on Friday 18 September from 5pm.
