About Clifton Beach
Clifton Beach is a quiet coastal locality situated approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Hobart in Tasmania's Kingborough area, within the Franklin electorate. With a population of 618 and a median individual income of around 1,750, it is a modestly sized beachside community in the stunning rural-coastal fringe south of the capital. The suburb covers just over 7 square kilometres and sits along a rugged stretch of coastline backed by bushland, offering scenic views across the Tasman Sea.
The locality is prized for its secluded beach environment, fresh sea air, and close proximity to the natural landscapes that characterise Tasmania's southern coast. Residents enjoy access to the unspoiled surf beach, surrounding bushland walks, and the relaxed lifestyle of a small coastal community. Despite its quiet character, Clifton Beach is a manageable drive from Hobart's full range of services, schools, and employment, making it appealing to those who want a genuine sea-change while remaining connected to the capital.
Clifton Beach falls under postcode 7020 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Franklin (Rumney) electorate.
