Nice beaches close to the city centre are hard to find - most are tiny or don't have much sand to enjoy. Howrah is about a 10-minute drive from Hobart city and you can bring the pooch. 
You'll get a lovely view of the city, river and Mount Wellington.

Howrah

Howrah is noteworthy for its restaurants, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Glebe Hill Nature Reserve and Howrah Beach.

Howrah
Five Mile Beach along side Pittwater in Hobart, Tasmania is not your usual beach. More a shallow lagoon that is mostly calm and therefore a great place for reflective photography. The water is so clear, shooting straight down you can clearly see all the wonderful marine life scurrying along the sand. ... wear gumboots if visiting here, they'll stop the crabs from biting your toes.

Seven Mile Beach

You'll enjoy the beaches and restaurants in Seven Mile Beach. You might want to make time for a stop at Seven Mile Beach or Royal Hobart.
