All about St Helens

Northeastern Tasmania is a place of many charms — covetable surf breaks, mystical rain forests, sweeping wine vineyards — and St Helens puts you in the middle of it all. Located on Tasmania’s Great Eastern Drive, St Helens is the largest town in the region and serves as the gateway to the world-renowned Bay of Fires, as well as the Mt William and Freycinet national parks. While the town itself offers lessons in Tassie history at the St Helens History Room, the region’s white-sand beaches and glittering waters mean you’ll probably spend most of your time in or around the water. Snorkelers and scuba divers love exploring the kelp forests, underwater caves, and shipwrecks off the coast. Mountain bikers love the ultra-scenic ocean view trails; and anglers try their luck hooking albacore and yellowfin tuna on the Tasman Sea (St Helens is Tasmania’s game-fishing capital). In town, be sure to partake of the daily catch, as well as the famed local oysters.
