Settled on Georges Bay, St Helens is the largest town on the east coast, with a population of 1,800 and it is also Tasmania’s largest fishing port. It was first established in 1830 as a whaling town, but now relies on timber, fishing and tourism. There are some nice places to visit nearby, including the beautiful beaches at Binalong Bay, Sloop Rock and Stieglitz, St Columba Falls, Bay of Fires Coastal Reserve and Mt William National Park.
