Howrah Beach

Howrah Beach is a picturesque beach located in the city of Hobart. The beach is known for its pristine shoreline, soothing sound of the waves, and gentle breeze, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing walk. The beach offers excellent views of Mt. Wellington, particularly at sunset, adding to its natural charm.

The beach is of great length, making it suitable for morning or evening walks. It is also located near a park that features a children's playground and toilets, as well as picnic grounds, adding to the amenities available for visitors. However, the beach is somewhat hard to find due to the lack of visible signs, so using a GPS is recommended for first-time visitors.

One of the issues at Howrah Beach is the behavior of some pet owners. Despite the availability of dog poop bags and bins, some pet owners neglect their responsibility to clean up after their pets, leaving waste behind on the beach and in the nearby bushes. This has led to calls for dogs to be banned from the beach to preserve its natural beauty.

Additionally, the beach is often contaminated by water from the former wetlands behind it. Despite these issues, Howrah Beach remains a beloved spot for both locals and tourists, thanks to its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
