What Makes It Special

- •Bay of Fires - orange lichen-covered boulders meeting crystal-clear water in one of the world's most visually striking natural environments
- •Virtually zero development for hundreds of kilometres - a genuine coastal wilderness that genuinely feels like a different planet
Best Time to Visit
December to March for the warmest swimming (still around 18°C - cold by mainland standards, invigorating by Tasmanian). Year-round for hiking and lookout walks. Book Coles Bay accommodation months ahead for summer. Autumn colours in the coastal bush through April are spectacular.
