Policeman’s Point is in the Bay of Fires Conservation area, but is further away than the more popular sites and therefore an alternative if you are looking to perhaps get away from the crowds that often inhabit Bay of Fires or looking for a slightly different Tasmanian camping experience. Camping Bay Of Fires – a world-renowned, picturesque region of Tasmania north of the small coastal town of St. Helens on the far north-east coast of Tassie. At Bay Of Fires, you will find white sandy beaches, clear blue water and granite tinged with orange lichen. Bay Of Fires was given its name by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 when fires were observed being burned by Aboriginals on shore. The area is famous for the range of beach and water activities offered plus bird-watching and walking which are popular in this area. If you are lucky you may spot a pod of dolphins close to the beach. There is a conservation area at the southern accessible from St Helens. Here you will find camping grounds along a 13-kilometre section of road ending at private land known as The Gardens. Policemans Point is in the middle section of Bay of Fires.
