Okay we are slightly cheating here, because the Bay of Fires is actually a string of beaches stretching 50km from Binalong Bay in the south all the way up to Eddystone Point in the north. But why visit one beach when you can visit a bunch? Tasmania’s East Coast is famous for its impossibly azure waters, bleached-white sand and orange lichen-covered boulders, and these beaches will be some of the most picturesque you’ve ever set foot on. Despite their popularity, you’ll still find a secluded spot to spend your day, whether it’s at The Gardens, Seaton Cove, Jeanneret Beach or a tiny secluded bay. Stay in the area and spend a week exploring – in the warmer months, this is a prime camping or van life destination.
