St Helens has the appeal of a seaside town, but it's actually on Georges Bay. So if you like hanging out at the beach, head for this nearby conservation area, where you'll find all the sand you could possibly want.

St Helens Point is popular for surfing, fishing, beach walks, boating, bird-watching and camping.

The signposted road to St Helens Point turns off the A3 just south of the town.
