It stretches from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point and is known for its white beaches, clear blue water, and rust-colored granite rocks. The bay's name was given by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773, inspired by the fires of Aboriginal people on the beaches.

The bay has a rich history, serving as a meeting place for Aboriginal family groups and being a site for bay whaling activities in the 1840s.
