Geilston Bay is a small suburb of Hobart near Lindisfarne, in the City of Clarence located on the Eastern Shore of the Derwent River. It is a nature-rich suburb with houses built right next to bushland. Shag Bay Aboriginal Site and the local Boat Club are two main features of the suburb. It contains one high school, Geilston Bay High School and a private Christian School (Kinder to year 12) also operates over the road from Geilston Bay High School. There are two corner shops, a butcher and hairdresser. As Lindisfarne is so close, citizens shop there instead.
