BINALONG BAY PRIVATE FIELD GUIDE
Bay of Fires & Beyond: Binalong Bay’s Orange Rocks, White Sand and Untamed Coastlines
An 8-hour private day tour operated by Tas 4X4 Tours that moves from St Helens through Binalong Bay, the Bay of Fires and Eddystone Point Lighthouse into Mt William National Park — this guide orients you to the route, highlights and practical details.
Bay of Fires & Beyond: Binalong Bay’s Orange Rocks, White Sand and Untamed Coastlines.
On Tasmania’s northeast coast, slabs of orange lichen-painted granite punctuate pure white sand and clear Tasman Sea water, framed by windswept headlands and wide coastal views. This private day tour threads those landscapes together — from St Helens Point to Binalong Bay, the northern reaches of the Bay of Fires, Eddystone Point Lighthouse and into Mt William National Park — for a compact but complete introduction to the region’s dramatic seascapes and wildlife possibilities.

Outing Highlights
The Bay of Fires: orange lichen and powder-white sand
Binalong Bay sits at the southern gateway to the Bay of Fires, where vibrant orange lichen clads granite outcrops that sit against powder-white beaches and clear turquoise water — the tour allocates time to walk the beaches and photograph the striking contrasts.
St Helens Point: expansive coastal vantage
Begin with sweeping coastal views from St Helens Point, a natural vantage that offers a sense of the coastline your day will trace south and north along the Bay of Fires.
Eddystone Point Lighthouse and remote headlands
The tour visits the historic Eddystone Point Lighthouse at the Bay of Fires’ northern tip and continues through the remote reaches of Mt William National Park to Musselroe Bay, threading built heritage with wild coastal scenery.
