The Gardens — Attraction in Tasmania

The Gardens has it all – drive right up to the end of the road, take a short walk, and the spectacular rocks, ocean and white sand beaches are right out front.

Nice little end of the island blessed with nature..the rocks with red colour on it , white sand beach and the surrounding landscape makes it a great viewing point…access to the beach and view point is a bit of walk away from the parking area, you can see the red rocks while you walk to the beach or to the viewing point.
