Cloudy Bay (Tasmania)
Cloudy Bay is located at the southernmost end of Bruny Island in the Australian state of Tasmania, inside South Bruny National Park.

Shore-based whaling stations operated in the bay in the 1830s.

The bay consists of a 5 kilometre long beach which at one end, facilitates surfing and, at the other, a camping location with toilet facilities.

Environment

Cloudy Bay is part of the Cloudy Bay Marine Conservation Area, known for its seagrass and shallow sediment microalgae which support diverse marine life.

  • Looking from the camping location, Cloudy Bay is a quiet and peaceful beach with calm waters and slowly levelling sands.
