Fortescue Bay is a beautiful, sheltered bay inside Tasman National Park. It’s also where the Three Capes Track starts and ends.

There’s a national park campground there with toilets and BBQs. It books out fast in peak season though, so don’t leave it too late.

It’s also worth a visit even if you’re not hiking. The water is calm and fun for snorkelling, fishing, or just chilling!
