7. Bay of Fires, Tasmania
The 50-kilometer (30-mile) stretch of eastern Tasmanian coastline between Eddystone Point and Binalong Bay marks the Bay of Fires, where travellers can hike through pristine bush, wander on white beaches flanked by sapphire seas, kayak the Ansons River, camp in the wild or indulge in an eco-lodge experience.
The Bay of Fires, two hours east of Launceston, is stunning with one of the most incredible and underrated coastlines in Oceania. Peak season is September to April, but we recommend November or February, when the weather is most favorable and it’s not busy during the holiday season. However, take note that while it’s beautifully green during winter, the rain can be a dampener.
