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!

Whilst we do have links with various cast and crew members, this website is 100% unofficial with no affiliation to the show, Seven Network or five. Consequently, we can't pass on fan mail, send you autographs or get you a part on the show, so please don't request this over email.
Sorry, no. The team have put a lot of time into making those Downloads and we would like them to remain on our website only. Please do not use them on your own website, or upload videos to Youtube, without permission.
You can email us on chris@backtothebay.net or dan@backtothebay.net, or head to the Contact Us page. We will strive to get back to you as quickly as possible.
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.
