Back to the Bay is the most popular Home and Away website around, with the largest Home and Away Message Board on the internet. We're here to bring you the latest Home and Away News and Spoilers from across the world, along with Features, Information and Multimedia Downloads.
"Back to the Bay" was a programme which aired on Channel 5 in the months leading up to Home and Away's launch on the channel. It was a magazine show which brought viewers up to date with the latest happenings on the soap, and reminded them of what happened just before it left ITV's screens. When Chris and Jeremai had the challenge of choosing a name for this site, "Back to the Bay" was one of many ideas they came up with, but was the first that was truly liked by both of them. The show's aim was to provide viewers with the latest news on their favourite Australian soap, and this website has the exact same aim. As a result, we thought the name was pretty appropriate. Plus, it has a nice ring to it!

We're in the process of creating a brand new look Back to the Bay to freshen things up, clear out the clutter and add some features as we go. Apologies for how long it's taking and how much of the site is looking rather peculiar as a result, but rest assured we're making progress and the new look will be complete within the next few weeks.
