The area of Bicheno is noted for its good motels, its excellent fishing facilities, its safe and attractive beaches and its interesting coastal walk, which include some superb rocky outcrops and spectacular blowholes.

As early as 1803 Bicheno was established as a whaling centre and was named after James Ebenezer Bicheno, the British Colonial Secretary for Van Diemen's Land from 1843 to 1851.

The tiny harbour continued to serve fishermen and in 1854 it was expanded to provide port facilities for the coal mining at Denison River.

The dicovery of gold in Victoria saw most of the town's residents depart in 1855 and for nearly a century Bicheno became a sleepy little fishing village.

Fishing has continued to be the lifeblood of the town and although, in recent times, it has become a popular tourist destination, there are still fishing vessels moored in the town's harbour. The local fishing industry's catch includes abalone, crayfish, scallops and trevally.
