Walking Distance of BIG4 St Helens

What’s Within Walking Distance of BIG4 Tassie Getaway Parks St Helens?

If you love the idea of parking the car and simply wandering your way through a stunning Tassie town, you’ll love BIG4 St Helens. As the closest holiday park to the township of St Helens, just over 1km into town, you’ll find everything from fresh seafood to playgrounds, waterfront walks and even a wildlife park just a short stroll away.

So what can you explore on foot from your cabin, caravan, or campsite? Let’s take a wander.

Walk-to Wonders in St Helens:

Georges Bay Foreshore & Direct Path to Town - Step out of the park and straight onto the picturesque Georges Bay foreshore. There’s a dedicated walking and cycling path that leads you right into town — with beautiful views the whole way.

Percy Steel Reserve, Skate Park & Marina Playground - Travelling with kids (or just young at heart)? You’ll love the big open space of Percy Steel Reserve, home to a great playground, skate park, and room to run or kick a footy.

St Helens Waterfront Walk - A relaxed, scenic walk that gives you a true taste of St Helens — from boats bobbing in the bay to peaceful picnic spots and birdlife galore.

Local Cafes & Bakeries - Craving a good brew or a bite to eat? St Helens delivers. You’ll find friendly spots serving up great coffee, fresh pastries, and hearty breakfasts, all within easy reach. We love the Lifebuoy Cafe.

The Shopping Strip - From quirky local stores to everyday essentials, the shopping strip has a little bit of everything. It’s perfect for a laidback browse or picking up a few picnic supplies. Try out East Coast Village Providore, a gourmet food store & cafe with quality meat, fresh food, house made options & platters. The Tasmania Shop offers a selection of Tasmanian wine, gin, whisky, chocolate, honey and so much more!

St Helens Weekly Markets - Stroll into town on a Saturday morning for the local market from 9am-1pm. You'll find:

• Fresh local produce and plants
• Arts and crafts
• Homemade clothing and jewellery
• Delicious biscuits, cakes, jams and sauces
• Bric-a-brac, including second hand tools, furniture, crockery and books

Easy Tiger Cinema and Bar - An indie cinema right in town with a relaxed bar vibe — catch a film, grab a drink, and unwind after a day exploring.

St Helens History Room & Visitor Info Centre - A great first stop to get your bearings and dive into the stories of the area. Chat to the local experts and discover something new about this charming coastal town.

Mainly Maritime Museum - A charming museum showcasing nautical history, maritime artifacts, and model ships from around the world.

Seafood by the Wharf - You can’t visit St Helens without indulging in the freshest catch of the day. Head to the wharf for delicious local seafood straight from the boats. Prefer to have someone else do the cooking? We highly recommend The Wharf Bar and Kitchen for tasty takeaway or a relaxed lunch or dinner overlooking beautiful Georges Bay.

Friendly Locals & Laidback Tassie Vibe - Okay, this one’s not on a map — but it’s just as important. St Helens is all about that relaxed, welcoming Tassie charm. You’ll feel it with every smile and wave.

Serpentarium Wildlife Park Tasmania - This one’s probably too far to walk with kids, however riding a bike would be easy enough. A unique and educational experience, the Serpentarium is home to a fascinating collection of reptiles, amphibians and exotic wildlife.

Want to stretch your legs a little further?

Follow the Georges Bay path south, away from town, and you’ll come to:

The Bay of Fires Lobster - Premium Southern Rock Lobster straight off the boat and locally sourced seafood from the iconic Bay of Fires on Tasmania's East Coast.
