Bay of Fires
The Bay of Fires coastline stretches more than 50 kilometres from Binalong Bay in the South to Eddystone Point in the North. It is famous for its orange lichen-covered granite boulders.
These stunning boulders, powder-white sandy beaches, and turquoise waters provide sensational views and excellent photographic opportunities. These magnificent secluded beaches and inlets are a sight to behold and give the Bay of Fires its reputation as one of the most pristine natural wonders of the world.
Binalong Bay is the area's main beach and an excellent spot for swimming or surfing. Abundant marine life and clear waters around the offshore reefs also make for terrific diving and snorkelling conditions.
The Bay of Fires got its name from Captain Tobias Furneaux when he sailed past in 1773, spotting Aboriginal fires lighting up the coastline.
Bay of Fires is approximately 4 hours from Hobart and 3 hours from Launceston, and the closest town is St Helen's. Binalong Bay is less than a ten-minute drive from St Helens.
