Binalong Bay

Binalong Bay is a small coastal village at the southern end of the Bay of Fires on Tasmania's north-east coast, within the Break O'Day municipality. It is known for its white sandy beach, clear turquoise water and granite boulders covered in orange lichen. The bay serves as the main access point to the Bay of Fires Conservation Area and offers swimming, snorkeling and coastal walks in a scenic natural setting.

Visitors can expect a sheltered white-sand beach with clear turquoise water, granite rocks with distinctive orange lichen, and views north along the Bay of Fires coastline. The foreshore has a small boat ramp, car park and picnic area. The area is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, beach walking, fishing and photography, and provides access to the Bay of Fires Conservation Area walking tracks and coastal lookouts.

The Bay of Fires was named in 1773 by Captain Tobias Furneaux who observed Aboriginal fires along the coastline. The Binalong Bay area has a long history of Aboriginal occupation and later European fishing and settlement associated with the nearby town of St Helens.

Located on the north-east coast within palawa country, the area is valued for its natural coastal landscape and is part of the Bay of Fires region which holds cultural significance for Tasmanian Aboriginal people and is a major nature-based tourism destination for Tasmania.
