Canoe Bay & Bivouac Bay

How to get there

1. C344 to Fortescue Bay. Parks Pass. Unsealed 12 km.

How to do it (step by step)

1. Walk toward Canoe Bay / Bivouac Bay. Reverse unless you planned the long Tasman Coastal Trail with daylight and fitness to match.
2. If camping at Bivouac: walk-in only, no bookings, fuel-stove only. Confirm official notes.

What to expect

From Fortescue Bay, Canoe Bay and Bivouac Bay sit on the Tasman Coastal Trail in the opposite direction from Cape Hauy’s main cape push. Bivouac is walk-in camping only — no vehicle, no bookings, fuel-stove only, basic toilets/platforms.

The same trail continuing all the way to Devils Kitchen is a hefty day (published around eight hours from Fortescue). That is not this page’s default.

Logistics

Same C344 and Parks Pass as Cape Hauy. Different direction. If you wanted the cape platform, do Cape Hauy instead of inventing “two short walks.”

Hazards and reverse

Coastal cliffs, weather, walk-in isolation if you camp. Canoe Bay is a clean turnaround. Bivouac is further. Devils Kitchen is a different day — and the 2026 Arch/Kitchen works may change that far end anyway.
