Welcome to Devonport
Devonport sits on the northern Tasmanian coast where the Mersey River meets the Bass Strait, making it a natural starting point for exploring the island's wild interior and coastal trails. You can watch the Spirit of Tasmania ferry roll in at dawn, then head straight into farm country or national parkland. Resorts in Devonport suit this style of trip well, with comfortable bases that keep you close to both the waterfront and the open road.

When to visit Devonport
High and low season in Devonport
Summer in Devonport, running from December through February, brings the most reliable conditions for getting outside and making the most of the area. Days are long, the weather is at its most settled, and ferry arrivals from the mainland keep visitor numbers fairly high. If you're planning to visit during this period, locking in accommodation early gives you more options.
Autumn and winter bring quieter conditions to Devonport, with fewer visitors and a more relaxed feel across the area. You'll likely find it easier to book accommodation, and prices can be more favourable. The trade-off is cooler, wetter weather that may limit time outdoors, and some local services operate on reduced schedules.
Devonport has a community events calendar that covers markets, arts activities, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year. Confirming current schedules from outside the area can be tricky, so checking with the local visitor information centre or the official Devonport City Council website before your trip is the most reliable approach.
