Tasman Statistical Local Area 2004, Line Graph

Nubeena is located 113km south east of Hobart and 12 km from the historic penal settlement of Port Arthur.  It is the administrative centre for the Tasman Municipality and the largest township on the Peninsula.

Nubeena was established as an outstation of Port Arthur and for many years was an important convict farming community.  Coal was once mined in the north-west of the peninsula and the ruins of the soldiers’ barracks and convict quarters can be found at nearby Saltwater River.

Nubeena is a favorite destination for surfers who are attracted to the consistently good and challenging waves at Roaring Beach and White Beach.  Roaring Beach is alongside a coastal reserve with magnificent views over Storm Bay.
