Boronia Beach is an intimate beach hidden on the Kingborough coastline between Kingston and Blackmans Bay. Nestled between rugged cliffs and tall pines the beach is a great spot for a summer’s swin or snorkle. Though it can be accessed by a shorter route via the lower section of Jindabyne Road, the longer walk offers lovely views of the Derwent River and South Arm.Leaving from the southern end of Kingston Beach, the track hugs the coastal headland for entire 2km return walk, ducking in and out of blue gum and sheoak bushland. The walk is primarily flat apart from a final series of steps heading down onto the beach.
