Travellers coming to east coast Tasmania from other parts of Australia often wonder where to stay to get the most out of their Bay of Fires holiday. The Bay of Fires is a region that stretches from Binalong Bay in the south to Eddystone Point in the north, with “The Gardens” (with its iconic orange lichen rocks, pristine sand and turquoise waters) roughly in the middle of the Bay of Fires region.

Many guests choose to book accommodation in St Helens - the largest town on the east coast and still only a short 12-minute drive from the beginning of the Bay of Fires. This is a great option for those seeking maximum convenience.  

Binalong Bay accommodation is another fantastic option: staying in Binalong (as the locals call it) puts you right inside the Bay of Fires region. In fact, Binalong Bay is the beginning of the Bay of Fires. What it lacks in facilities (there are no shops here!), it gains in breathtaking natural beauty that needs to be seen to be believed.
