Refuge Cove
A natural shelter on the east coast of the Southern Circuit, where sailboats often anchor. The beach campground is surrounded by forest.
As its name suggests, Refuge Cove is sheltered by hills on three sides, with a narrow entrance to the sea. Historically it was a refuge for sealers and sailors escaping storms in Bass Strait. Today sailboats often moor here. The campground sits among the trees behind the beach. It is a classic middle-section campsite on the Southern Circuit, between Sealers Cove, Refuge Cove, Waterloo Bay, and the lighthouse, and it must be booked in advance. It can only be reached on foot or by boat, and there are no shops or supplies.
