The historic township of Swansea with its distinctive charm and beauty overlooks the protected waters of Great Oyster Bay. The Swansea area was settled in 1821 and is the oldest rural municipality in Australia, specialising in wool, vineyards, walnut orchards and crops. Swansea's historic buildings now house retail outlets and accommodation.
This stretch of coast is popular with holidaymakers, and Swansea's proximity to the Freycinet Peninsula and Maria Island make it an ideal base for a beach or bushwalking holiday. There is something for all ages at Swansea – fishing, swimming, golfing, visiting vineyards and exploring the wonderful attractions situated close by.
