Cloudy Bay is located at the southernmost end of Bruny Island in the Australian state of Tasmania, inside South Bruny National Park.

Shore-based whaling stations operated in the bay in the 1830s.^[1]

The bay consists of a 5 kilometre long beach which at one end, facilitates surfing and, at the other, a camping location with toilet facilities.^[2]

Environment

[edit]

Cloudy Bay is part of the Cloudy Bay Marine Conservation Area, known for its seagrass and shallow sediment microalgae which support diverse marine life.^[3]

Gallery

[edit]

Looking from the camping location, Cloudy Bay is a quiet and peaceful beach with calm waters and slowly levelling sands.
The beach is surrounded by native Australian plants for its entire 5 kilometre span.
