The Bay of Fires in Tasmania is one of the most magical coastal places on Earth a place where crystal clear turquoise waters meet soft white sand and fiery orange lichen covered granite boulders that glow like embers in the sun. ✨ Named back in 1773 when Captain Tobias Furneaux saw Aboriginal fires burning along these shores, the Bay of Fires (larapuna) stretches over 50 km along Tassie’s pristine north-east coast from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point.
This stunning coastline is part of the Bay of Fires Conservation Area and Mount William National Park, and has been recognised internationally for its breathtaking beauty from white beaches and turquoise bays to rugged limestone features that seem almost surreal.
Whether you’re strolling along The Gardens lookout, exploring calm rock pools, swimming in clear bays, or hiking scenic coastal trails, every step reveals postcard perfect scenes that invite awe and wonder. The area also offers great wildlife spotting from dolphins and seabirds cruising the waters to wallabies and native birds in the coastal heathlands.
Infamous for its dramatic contrasts of color and light, Bay of Fires is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, campers, and anyone craving a quieter, more meaningful connection with the wild sea, sky, and sand. With minimal crowds, cool refreshing ocean breezes and endless views, it’s easy to see why Lonely Planet calls it one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
