This is a short drive from the Coal Mine site on a well maintained dirt road. We walked from the camping area to Lagoon Beach and loved it. The water is crystal clear.

Stayed here two nights midweek - had the correct amount, $26 for camping. A variety of campsites available with 4 toilets. Very close to the beach which we walked the length of the first day, quite a bit to see. We ventured further afield the following day to Lagoon Beach and Green Head.

We just did the walk along the dry lagoon (less then 2 hrs return), ending at lagoon beach. This is an absolute pristine beach which was quite sheltered and therefore rather warm water. We enjoyed a great swim, saw a manta ray and some smaller fish.

There were a lot of people camping there and would have stayed had we had more time. We had lunch then a walk on the pretty beach. The rocks were a small version of the likes found on Maria Is. Very picturesque. Worth the drive down. Visit the Historic Coal Mines on the way.

The Lime Bay state reserve is Tasmania at its natural best. The bush and beaches are untouched, apart from convict coal mines scattered among the trees. Camping facilities are available, however, the access road is so good that a quick trip is very easy to do. Simply follow the road from the old convict coal mine and you will reach the beaches in 10 minutes. Take care when you're there, respect the natural beauty and imagine you are standing there 200 years ago!

Campsite available (tent: 13 dollars up to 2 people) close to the beach with toilets and water. Close to the coal mines historic sites. You will see heaps of wallabies and pademelons !

The campground is in the bay which is very pretty. Unfortunately for $13 - and you need to have this precise amount in order to put it in the envelope - you don’t get much amenity like proper flat campsites, toilets or fresh water.
