BINALONG BAY, TASMANIA

With an array of accommodation, fishing and diving facilities, and a general store and cafe, Binalong Bay is an idyllic location for those seeking a 'holiday in heaven'.
Bay of Fires: A place of tranquil beauty full of clean white beaches and rocky bays, the internationally recognised Bay of Fires is situated between Eddystone Point and Binalong Bay on the far north-eastern corner of Tasmania. One of Tasmania's most popular tourist destinations, this 29-kilometre ribbon of sea, surf and sand is renowned for its island beach culture, cosy cottages and nature walks, not to mention its natural beauty - the bay's blue water, iconic orange hued granite (which is actually a lichen), white sandy beaches and fishing lagoons.
