Fire crews will be backburning near a Tasmanian tourist hotspot in an effort to keep a still smouldering bushfire under control.
Campers and tourists were told to evacuate or seek shelter on Tuesday night as the fire took hold at Coles Bay on the state's eastern coast.
Crews set up control lines around the blaze but it's continuing to burn on Sunday, with people in the Coles Bay, Swanwick and Friendly Beaches areas told to monitor conditions.
"There will be increased smoke in the Coles Bay area," Tasmanian Fire Service incident controller Mark Klop said.
"Strong north easterly winds today may push smoke inland."
About 1200 hectares of national park and 700 hectares of private land are being backburned.
Coles Bay Road and the Tasman Highway might be impacted by smoke on Sunday, leading to potential traffic delays.
People with medical conditions should have a personal plan for avoiding smoke from the burn, Mr Klop said.
"Our aim is to consolidate the bushfire as quickly as possible and provide future protection for the community and critical infrastructure," he said.
"The best defence against bushfire is being prepared, staying informed, and keeping up-to-date with current information to keep safe."
