Ansons Bay sits on the Bay of Fires, a beautiful piece of wilderness coastline in the north-east corner of Tasmania, stretching from Eddystone Point in the north to Binalong Bay in the south. Characterised by stunning blue water, fishing lagoons, spotless white sandy beaches and orange lichen covered granite boulders, the area is often mentioned internationally in lists of the world's top beaches. It’s known for being a quiet, peaceful place to escape for a few days. The camping, beaches and fishing make it a destination loved by those who wish to avoid crowds, party-goers and excessive development. The bay is rather sheltered being an almost oval shape with a small opening leading out to the ocean. This makes it a great place to get out with a dinghy or kayak. If you’re keen to enjoy a great white sandy beach, there is one on the eastern side. This faces the ocean so at times it will be rough and windy, at other times it’s calm and gentle. Fishing at Ansons Bay, particularly for Bream and Salmon, is some of the best in Tasmania. If you’re lucky you might also catch some Trevally, Flounder or Flathead. For Salmon, check out the nearby Anson River.
