These three stunning beachfront bays—Connewarre Bay, Windermere Bay, and another nestled along the Derwent Foreshore—are seamlessly connected by the Berriedale Foreshore Track and the Connewarre Bay to Windermere Bay Walking Track. This 4.5 km, Grade 2 hike winds through diverse vegetation, including native she-oaks and acacias, and typically takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete as a return walk. For a shorter option, you can begin at Connewarre Bay for a 2.6 km return walk. Alternatively, the hike can be done one-way, but return transport will be necessary.
This scenic walk offers a serene experience for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts, providing a peaceful escape in the heart of Claremont, Tasmania.

A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the
AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.
