Freycinet Marine Farm

Top choice in The East Coast


Super-popular Freycinet Marine Farm grows huge, succulent oysters in the waters around Coles Bay, while its farm-gate cafe also dishes up fish and chips, mussels, scallops and abalone. Sit on the deck, sip some chardonnay and dig into your seafood picnic, as fresh as the Freycinet air.

Tours of the oyster farm run daily.
