Discover Bicheno

Bicheno is a charming beachside town on Tasmania’s east coast. It’s famous for its sparkling beaches, fresh seafood, coastal views, and mild weather. A top holiday spot, it’s perfect for swimming, walking, relaxing, foodie experiences and seeing Tassie’s unique wildlife.

Shorts in winter? It must be Bicheno!

Nature lovers will find plenty to enjoy. Walk the foreshore trail or climb Whaler’s Lookout for stunning views. Don’t miss the spectacular blowhole. Join a guided tour to see penguins or Tasmanian devils up close. Visit a wildlife park or explore Douglas-Apsley National Park for native forests, waterfalls, and swimming holes. If you love the ocean, snorkel at Waubs Bay or join the local swimming group for a morning dip. Prefer to stay dry? Try a glass-bottom boat tour to see the marine life from above.

Food and wine lovers will feel right at home here. Fresh local produce like southern rock lobster, east coast wines, and local whisky are on the menu at the many local cafés and restaurants. Feel like shopping? Be sure to visit Islander or Undersong Perfumery while you’re in town.

There are many places to stay, from luxury villas to budget cabins. The Beachfront offers motel-style rooms right across from Waubs Beach and the Surf Life Saving Club.

If you’re visiting in spring, don’t miss the annual Bicheno Food and Wine Festival celebrating the region’s finest produce. Meanwhile in winter, the Bicheno Beams laser light show offers a dazzling, family-friendly spectacle.

This vibrant town truly has something for everyone!

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.
