About St Helens |
 |
|
St Helens is the largest town on Tasmania’s east coast and it is located 166km east of Launceston. Its main industries are fishing, timber and tourism. St Helens has mild winters and warm summers, the result of a microclimate produced by surrounding hills and warm ocean currents. A deep-sea scale fishing fleet operates out of St Helens and Georges Bay and the area has an enviable reputation for its high quality crayfish and oysters.
There are several good beaches located close to St Helens, suitable for both swimming and surfing.
The St Helens Point State Reserve and the Bay of Fires Coastal Reserve provide walkers with views of spectacular coastal scenery.
St Helens has a number of good restaurants and is well serviced with shops, supermarkets and banks.
