Barnes Bay, a tranquil hamlet on Bruny Island's northern end, offers a serene retreat with its picturesque harbor and rich history. Once a hub for the firewood trade and fruit industry, it now thrives on tourism and light grazing. The bay is renowned for its safe anchorage, making it ideal for picnics and fishing from the jetty. McCracken’s Creek nearby is a haven for birdwatchers. The annual Barnes Bay Regatta, typically held in late February or early March, showcases the community's vibrant spirit. Accessible via Route C625, Barnes Bay is approximately 35 km south of Kingston.
