Discover Triabunna
Triabunna sits at the edge of Spring Bay and is fringed by beaches, coastal reserves, hills and forests. Originally established as a garrison town for the penal settlement on Maria Island, its now the gateway and departure point to Maria Island National Park. This is a town rich in local history that offers a range of great coastal holiday experiences.
Seafood, sailing and stories by the sea?
It must be Triabunna!
From Triabunna’s marina, you can join a cruise to Maria Island, board a fishing or sightseeing charter in the Mercury Passage, or go sailing or boating in Spring Bay. This part of the coast is a prime fishing area, and Triabunna is well known for its delicious, locally-caught fish and chips and it’s not a visit to Triabunna without a visit to The Fish Van.
There are several walks in and around Triabunna—explore the area’s beautiful beaches or take a stroll in the nearby coastal reserves, including Pelican Walk, which begins near the marina. Take the self-guided Discovery Walk from the Triabunna Visitor Centre to see the town’s preserved convict-era buildings, visit the Tasmanian Seafarers Memorial, and browse the town’s shops and galleries.
Don’t miss the chance to have lunch or an afternoon drink at Spring Bay Hotel. And if you’re especially lucky, take the opportunity to attend an event at Spring Bay Mill a reclaimed wood chip mill, now a world class event and accommodation space focused on sustainable experiences.
