The Gardens

The Gardens is a coastal reserve and beach area in the locality of The Gardens within the Break O'Day municipality in north-eastern Tasmania. Located at the southern end of the Bay of Fires Conservation Area north of Binalong Bay, it is known for granite boulders, white sandy coves and clear waters. The area is valued for its natural coastal scenery, camping and beach access, forming part of the Bay of Fires coastline.

Visitors can expect a natural coastal setting with white sandy beaches interspersed with large granite boulders, clear turquoise water and low coastal vegetation. The area includes several small coves, rocky headlands and beach access points linked by The Gardens Road, which is partly unsealed. Facilities are basic with campgrounds, toilets and car parks. Activities centre on beach walking, sightseeing, photography, fishing and camping with views along the Bay of Fires coastline.

The Gardens lies within the Bay of Fires area on the north-east coast of Tasmania, traditionally part of the lands of Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The coastline was later used by early European settlers for fishing and coastal access. The area is now managed as part of the Bay of Fires Conservation Area for conservation and low-impact recreation.

The area is part of palawa / Tasmanian Aboriginal country and is valued for its natural coastal landscape and ongoing connection to sea country. It is appreciated locally for its scenic coastline, fishing and camping traditions within the Bay of Fires region.
