Nubeena
Sleepy and attractive holiday and fishing village
Located 113 km southeast of Hobart and 12 km from Port Arthur, Nubeena is a sleepy little holiday and fishing village which looks like any one of a thousand sleepy little holiday villages in Australia. It is characterised by a sense of temporariness, a lazy ribbon development along the road leading to the shore and along the shore itself, and it is notable for the fact that it seems to have little or no shopping centre. In spite of its smallness it is the administrative centre for the Tasman Municipality and is reputedly the largest township on the Peninsula.

Like all of the towns and villages on the Tasman Peninsula, Nubeena started as an outstation of Port Arthur and was, for some years, an important convict farming community. The major attractions in the area are the ruins of the convict settlement at Saltwater River and the magnificent ruins at Port Arthur.

Wedge Island and other attractions
Today it almost exclusively a holiday resort attracting fishermen and people eager for a quiet holiday. The township is located on the shores of Wedge Bay and further offshore is Wedge Island which is an important nesting habitat for the shearwater.
