Overview

St Helens is the largest town on Tasmania’s north‑east coast, sitting on Georges Bay and celebrated as the state’s game‑fishing capital and a renowned oyster‑producing centre. Its oceanic climate brings mild summers, warmer winter nights thanks to a foehn effect, and consistent rain, creating ideal conditions for fishing, swimming and other coastal pursuits. The town lies beside the St Helens Important Bird Area, a key breeding site for seabirds and waders, and is only 35 km from the dramatic 90‑metre St Columba Falls in Mount Victoria Forest Reserve.

Residents and visitors enjoy a range of local amenities, from the Bay of Fires IGA and Gallery Parnella on Cecilia Street to the community‑run Star FM Tasmania on 93.7 MHz. St Helens is easily accessed via the Tasman Highway and the nearby St Helens Airport, while the surrounding rivers, Golden Fleece Rivulet, Constable Creek and Ferntree Creek, and Mount Echo provide additional outdoor appeal. The 2021 census recorded a population of 2,206, reflecting steady growth and a vibrant coastal lifestyle.
