Visit World-Heritage Listed Maria Island, an animal sanctuary, marine reserve and national park. The wide, sandy expanse of Maria Island’s isthmus makes for great beachcombing.

From the shore landing, allow 1.5 hours for a gentle return walk along the foreshore, coastal bush track and white sandy beach to sheltered Trigonia Corner. The perfect spot for a secluded picnic lunch.

Wallabies and wombats are frequent visitors to the marsupial lawns which back onto the dunes. Learn more about Tasmania’s convict past with a stroll around the historic buildings of Darlington’s penal colony.
