About this place
Hellfire Bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the park and a great spot to enjoy a picnic or a refreshing dip in calm conditions. The bay is thought to have been named after St Elmo's fire – a bluish flame-like electrical discharge that sometimes occurs above ship's masts.
Rubbish bins are provided for your convenience.
