Remarkable
Cave is located on the southern coastline of Tasman peninsula 12km south of
Port Arthur.
From the car park it's a short, accessible walk to the large viewing platform offering exceptional
views of
Penguin Rocks and the bay. Wild waves pound away at the coastal
rock below to create a dramatic coastline.
From the central
carpark, take
the steps down to Remarkable
Cave. You'll be surrounded by steep, ancient
sandstone cliffs? and view the
cave from the custom-designed platform at the base. The tunnel-shaped
cave was formed through years of torment from crashing waves, eventually causing a wall of the
sandstone cave to collapse and create the tunnel that stands today. Some of the collapsed
rock from the
cave can still be seen at the base of the cliffs.
At certain times of year, the waves rush through the tunnel creating a thrilling spectacle for those lucky enough to witness it. Be prepared to get a little wet!
From the
carpark a number of walking options are available. To the east are
walking tracks to
Maingon Blowhole (1 hr 30mins return), Mount Brown (4 hr return) and Crescent Bay (4 hr return).
You will need a Tasman Parks Pass to access the area.
