LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
From sunrise beach walks to penguin encounters at dusk, Bicheno offers some of Tasmania’s most enchanting coastal experiences. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, you’ll find natural wonders, wildlife, and iconic landscapes just minutes from your retreat.
Beaches & Nature
Redbill Beach
Just a short stroll from central Bicheno, Redbill Beach is a peaceful stretch of soft white sand perfect for slow morning walks and refreshing ocean dips. With gentle waves rolling in and the occasional surfer catching a clean swell, it offers a beautiful blend of tranquillity and coastal energy — ideal for beachcombing, photography, or simply soaking in the rhythm of the sea.
Bicheno Blowhole
Located only a few minutes from the township, the Bicheno Blowhole is one of the region’s most dramatic natural spectacles. Here, the ocean surges through ancient granite formations, erupting in powerful bursts that spray metres into the air. Whether the swell is calm or wild, it’s a captivating display of Tasmania’s raw coastal force.
Douglas-Apsley National Park
A short 15-minute drive inland leads you to this untouched wilderness of eucalyptus forests, rocky riverbeds, and clear freshwater pools. Douglas-Apsley National Park is perfect for travellers who love exploring quiet trails, swimming in rock pools, and spotting native wildlife as they wander deeper into the bush.
