Rabbit Island Beach offers a long stretch of sandy coastline fronting Tasman Bay, popular for swimming, picnics, and cycling through the surrounding pine plantation trails. Set apart from the busier mainland beaches by a narrow tidal inlet, its sheltered waters and tree-lined foreshore make it an easy choice for families wanting space to spread out, bike riders exploring the flat tracks, or anyone looking for a calm day by the sea.
Located off Forestry Road on Rabbit Island in the Tasman district, the reserve pairs broad ocean swimming with shaded picnic spots right behind the tide line. It stands out as one of the area's favourite natural coastal spots, well suited to spending a quiet afternoon outdoors or breaking up a ride along the coastal trails.
