Description
Beaches of the Tasmanian Coast and Islands covers the beaches of the Tasmanian coast, together with those on Maria, Bruny, King, Robbins, Walker and Flinders islands. In all, there are 1,617 beaches spread along 3,030 km of coast.
This book has two aims. First, to provide the public with general information on the origin and nature of all Tasmania's beaches, including the contribution of geology, oceanography, climate and biota to the beaches, as well as information on beach hazards and safety. Second, it provides a description of each beach, including its name(s), location, access, facilities, dimensions and the character of the beach and surf zone.
The book comments on the suitability of each beach for bathing, surfing and fishing, with special emphasis on the natural hazards. Based on the physical hazards, all beaches are rated in terms of public safety and scaled from 1 (least hazardous) to 10 (most hazardous).
