St Helens is the largest town on Tasmania's northeast coast and offers all the services of a busy town with a positively laid back vibe. St Helens is also close to the perfect white sandy beaches, lichen-covered granite boulders and crystal clear waters of Binalong Bay and the Bay of Fires. Overlooking beautiful Georges Bay, chartered fishing boats cruise offshore for marlin and divers cruise beneath the surface to explore impressive kelp forests, underwater caves and colourful sea life.
St Helen's is the state's second-largest fishing port, renowned for its catches of deep-sea fish and lobster and a popular destination for recreational fishing. Its waters abound with game fish such as albacore tuna and Yellowfin Tuna, and the town is known as the game fishing capital of Tasmania.
The St Helens Mountain Bike Trails are some of the most scenic trails in the world- where else in the world can you ride Mountains to the Sea, ending your ride in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the Bay of Fires. There's also Pyengana, a cheese lovers haven, and of course the Pub in the Paddock with Priscilla the beer drinking pig. Then there are the stunning St Columbus Falls, one of the highest in Tasmania. To the north is Mt William National Park and Ansons Bay. All types of accommodation can be found in and around St Helens, most with beautiful sea views.
St Helens is a two drive (163 kilometres) east of Launceston.
