FORTESCUE BAY & PIRATES BAY

Andrew and I went for a drive down the Tasman Peninsula and found what has now become one of my absolute favourite spots in Tasmania. Fortescue Bay!

I had read that it resembles Wineglass Bay in beauty and what appealed to us was the ease of access. There's a brilliant campsite right beside the beach, with all the facilities you
need - needless to say we will be spending many nights camped here for sure!

For a momen
t I nearly felt like I was back home in Queensland at Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays except I was wearing a jacket and it was 12 degrees!!

Oh and what you can't see in this picture is the front coming from behind me - a few minutes later it absolutely poured with rain and hail and we made a mad dash for the car .. Haha!

We also found a brilliant lookout that provides this spectacular view over Eaglehawk Neck and Pirates Bay. What a GREAT day we had today, without a doubt the Tasman Peninsula is one of the best spots in Tassie to explore, I love it!
