The Neighborhood:
The stunning coastal town of Devonport is like the welcoming gateway to the beautiful northwest region of Tasmania. Tucked between rolling hills and the crystal-clear waters of Bass Strait, it's a top spot for explorers. The town's got that warm and inviting feel, and there's a lot to see and do.
You can't miss the breathtaking coastline with its jaw-dropping ocean views. Take a leisurely stroll, have a picnic, or dive into some water-based fun at iconic spots like Coles Beach and the picturesque Bluff Beach. Don't forget to snap a pic with the eye-catching Mersey Bluff Lighthouse – it's a real local favourite. Check out the iconic ‘Spirit of the Sea Statue’ while on your journey.
Devonport's got a deep maritime history, and its port is a big deal for Tassie's trade and commerce. If you're into all things maritime, the Bass Strait Maritime Centre is a must-visit. You'll find a treasure trove of maritime goodies, from old artefacts to interactive exhibits.
The town's got some serious culture going on, too. The Devonport Paranaple Arts Centre is where it's at for performances, exhibitions, and cool cultural stuff. Oh, and make sure to check out the showgrounds, where they host farmers' markets every month.
Need a bit of retail therapy or some healthcare backup? Devonport's got you covered with shopping centres and healthcare facilities. And if you're a foodie, you're in for a treat. The local restaurants and eateries dish up some seriously fresh Tassie produce.
One of the coolest things about Devonport is how close it is to some of Tassie's best spots. You can easily hop over to Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, explore the Tarkine wilderness, or visit neighbouring towns like Burnie, Penguin, Port Sorell, and Latrobe. And if you're all about the great outdoors, you're in luck – there are heaps of adventures waiting for you. So, whether you're here to chill or for a nature-packed getaway, Devonport's got it all.
