Current trends: Binalong Bay's routine ranking as one of the planet's best beaches continues to draw visitors to the Bay of Fires' more than 50 kilometres of coastline, while the region's remoteness, reflected in limited dining that sometimes closes over winter, keeps the area feeling uncrowded; eco-luxury three-day walking tours and glamping experiences are growing as ways to experience the coastline beyond a simple beach day.
