welcome to east coast tasmania

Slow down. Exhale. You’ve arrived on Tasmania’s east coast—a place of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, friendly locals, and unforgettable adventures. Here, it’s not uncommon to have a beach all to yourself, explore a pristine national park, eat southern rock lobster, drink the finest pinot noir and stroll through a seaside town—all in the same perfect day. This is where you will discover the Bay of Fires, Wineglass Bay, Bicheno, Maria Island and so much more.

This journey takes you to unforgettable places, from iconic beaches to award-winning walks, breathtaking views, and indulgent food and wine. Once you visit, you’ll understand—and you’ll want to return. Again and again.

The Tasmanian tourism industry acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a tourism industry that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully. We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
