Dennes Point sits at the northern end of North Bruny, about 15 minutes’ drive from the Roberts Point ferry terminal. Most visitors turn south straight off the ferry, which leaves this corner peaceful — sheltered beaches, a jetty and views across the channel towards the mainland.
Things to do
- Nebraska Beach and Dennes Point beach — calm, sheltered sand facing the channel.
- The jetty — a pleasant spot to watch boats and birds.
- Café — Dennes Point has a café near the jetty; check opening hours, which vary by season.
- Walks — short coastal wanders along the beaches.
When to visit
Dennes Point is a good first or last stop: if you arrive on an early ferry and the producers on Great Bay are not open yet, head north first. It also makes a relaxed base if you are staying a few nights and want quiet beaches.
Getting there
Turn north from the ferry along the sealed road to Dennes Point. See the map and distances page.
Staying at Dennes Point
