History
editLymington was gazetted as a locality in 1971. Previously known as Copper Alley Bay, the locality is believed to be named after a borough called Lymington in Hampshire, England, a seaport and yachting centre.[2]
Geography
editThe shore of the Huon River estuary forms the south-western boundary and Port Cygnet the south-eastern and eastern.[3]
Road infrastructure
editThe C639 route (Lymington Road / Cygnet Coast Road) enters from the north-east and runs generally south and west along the shore to the south-west, where it exits. Route C646 (Forsters Rivulet Road) starts from an intersection with C639 and runs generally north-west until it exits.[2][4]
