Fortescue Bay is famous among Tasmanian locals for its large camp ground, great bushwalks and white sandy beach. It’s a 12km drive along a good gravel road and the turn off is between Taranna and Port Arthur. This is a great spot for a picnic lunch, a visit to the exposed ship wreck in Canoe Bay or to feel the fine white sand in between your toes.
This coastal haven offers a wealth of experiences for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. It presents a myriad of bushwalks that cater to all levels of fitness and adventure. From leisurely coastal walks that offer breathtaking views of the ocean to challenging hikes that lead you through lush forests and rocky outcrops, there is a trail to suit everyone. If you’d prefer to simply relax, you can kick off your shoes and feel the soft grains of sand instead!
Fortescue Bay is just a 30 minute drive from Eaglehawk Pavilions.
