Bruny Island is one of Tasmania’s best-kept secrets—a serene island off the south-east coast offering raw natural beauty, gourmet delights, and a truly off-the-beaten-track feel. Split into North and South Bruny and connected by a narrow isthmus known as The Neck, the island is a haven for nature lovers and slow travellers alike.
With rugged sea cliffs, secluded beaches, and dense eucalyptus forests, Bruny is ideal for coastal walks, birdwatching, and wildlife encounters. Visitors often spot fairy penguins, sea eagles, and even fur seals. The Cape Bruny Lighthouse and South Bruny National Park showcase the island’s wild southern edge, while the sheltered bays of Adventure Bay and Alonnah offer peaceful spots to swim, kayak, or simply relax.
Caravan and camping options on Bruny Island are limited but special—ranging from beachfront campsites to rustic bush stays, all with easy access to the island’s natural attractions. While some travellers come for the day, those who stay overnight are rewarded with quiet starry nights and sunrise views over the water.
Local produce is a highlight here: sample award-winning cheese, oysters, chocolate, and whisky, all made on the island. Bruny’s compact size and laid-back pace make it ideal for exploring by campervan or car, with every turn revealing something new.
