Why it's worth checking out
Lobster Shack sits on Waubs Esplanade at Bicheno, a charming seaside town on Tasmania's beautiful east coast near Freycinet. A renowned, casual seafood spot, it's a hugely popular stop — making the most of the superb local seafood, especially its famous fresh lobster and other catches, in a relaxed setting near the water, the kind of only-here experience seafood lovers travel for.
The appeal is that combination of exceptionally fresh local seafood — the lobster is the star — and the casual, easygoing experience of enjoying it near the lovely Bicheno coast. There's nothing quite like fresh Tasmanian seafood enjoyed where it's caught, and with its renowned lobster and lovely location, it's become a beloved stop for visitors exploring the east coast.
With a 4.3 rating from more than 3,300 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular destination. The seafood on offer, menus, opening hours and pricing vary with the season and the catch, and it gets very busy in peak season, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly as part of planning an east-coast trip — while looking forward to fresh local lobster and seafood at the Lobster Shack in Bicheno.
