Sandy Bay is a prestigious suburb of the city of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, located immediately south of the central business district and adjoining Battery Point. Sandy Bay is bordered by the Derwent River to the east and is known for its beaches, including Nutgrove Beach, Long Beach, and Lords Beach.
Sandy Bay is one of Hobart's most affluent suburbs, home to some of Tasmania's most expensive real estate. It also contains student accommodations near the University of Tasmania's Sandy Bay campus and private schools, including Fahan School, The Hutchins School, and Mount Carmel College.
Sandy Bay is a key entry point to southern Hobart, connected by Sandy Bay Road, which runs from Davey Street to Taroona, where it becomes the Channel Highway. One of its most famous landmarks is the Wrest Point Hotel Casino, Australia’s first legal casino, opened in 1973.
