Attractions

A quiet, local beach little known to tourists. A great place to sunbake or catch some waves.

The first pit stop up the Bay of Fires, Binalong Bay is a spot for anyone to enjoy. The serene white sanded beach is home to an estuary which makes a safe spot for little ones to swim. The Bay of Fires has been recognised as one of the world hottest destinations by Lonely Planet.

A viewing platform that gives you a panoramic landscape of the Bay of Fires. To the right of the viewing platform is a secret beach, which has every photographers dream - the famous 'lone tree'.

A hidden gem, tucked away from sight. Cosy Corner is a prime location for viewing and exploring Rock formations covered in the red lichen that the Bay of Fires are known for. Sloop Rock is able to been seen in the distance.

Located within Humbug Point Nature Recreation Area, are bushwalks that boast panoramic views of the Bay of Fires.

This is the end of the drive up the Gardens road. Beautiful lichen covered rocks sporting rock pools and a nice view of Sloop Rock.

The waterfront of St Helens town centre. Exercise equipment and bbqs available to use for free.

A spot away from the main road to sit above St Helens, watch the boats and enjoy a BBQ with friends or family.

A mini-museum explaining the History behind St Helens, The Break O' Day area and local mining. The trail of the Tin Dragon is a must if you plan on driving onwards to Scottsdale.

If you're looking for fresh oysters, why not go straight to the source? Lease 65 Oyster Farm has been a favourite for us and our guests too. Gorgeous, fresh oysters, available either shucked or live, for a fraction of the price you'd pay in the city. Bon appétit!

The best barista in town who will always greet you with a smile. Marika will perfect your coffee order and set your tone for the day with her sunny disposition. A must have for caffeine fiends!

Lifebuoy Cafe has a team of kind, cheerful staff members and even lovelier food. This cafe is open for breakfast and lunch, with a vintage emporium on the side. Sit and enjoy their beautiful food (their open burgers are a must!) and potter around looking for antique trinkets to take back home with you.

Located in Scamander, south of St Helens is Swims East Coast Coffee. The charming owners Sean and Caitlin have transformed an ordinary shipping container into a cosy, friendly spot to grab a bite to eat and drink. Their coffee is nothing short of incredible and their toasties are out of this world. A must-stop during your East Coast holiday.

St Columba Falls is Tasmanias' 2nd tallest waterfall at a towering 94 metres. It flows all year round and can be marvelled from a viewing platform at the base of the fall. It is a 30 minute journey form St Helens and a 30 minute return walk to get to the viewing platform and back. Walking through a beautiful rainforest and breathing in the freshest air possible.... definitely a spot not to be missed.

The Holy Cow Cafe is a beautiful, serene spot to catch a bite to eat and explore what Pyengana Dairy Company has to offer. Pyenganas "Real Milk" is not homogenised, providing delicious thick, creamy milkshakes, coffees, icecreams and of course (our favourite) a range of cheeses. Have a four cheese pizza, cheesecake or drink and observe the cows. Try a few of their award winning cheeses, we won't be surprised if you end up taking some home.

One of the oldest pubs in Tasmania, also home to a beer drinking Pig named Priscilla! The Pub in the Paddock is rich in history, being licensed from 1880. Grab a watered down beer to keep Priscilla happy while you stop in for lunch.
