Barefoot Simplicity – Rice Beach’s Untouched Charm

#summervacay #june2025 #discovertasmania #vitaminsea #naturalwonders #thingstodo Sometimes, the best summer memories are the quietest. Rice Beach, with its soft sands and low tide pools, offers a kind of barefoot luxury—the luxury of space, silence, and salt-tinged air. No cafes. No crowds. Just waves, sky, and sunbaked granite. I spent a slow morning here collecting shells, letting my thoughts wander, and photographing the gentle arc of the bay. The stillness is its own form of therapy. Travel tip: Access is easiest by car—set your map for “Rice Pebble Beach” near Bicheno. Bring water and shade, as facilities are minimal. Ideal for a pre-lunch stop before heading to the blowhole.
