The island of Tasmania is an ideal destination, as it offers a diverse vegetation with many unique flora and fauna species, dense forests, pristine beaches and ideal weather conditions to perform your favorite extreme activity.
There is a vast number of surf breaks on the East Coast that offer great waves. Safety Cove Reef is a sheltered reef break, close to Remarkable Caves and near the historic Port Arthur. Port Arthur is at about 60 km/37 mi in the southeast of Hobart, the capital state and it is considered to be the most significant heritage location in Tasmania. Safety Cove Reef is usually uncrowded and it is suitable for surfers of all levels.
