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