Accessible via the Mt Brown walking track from the
Remarkable Cave main
carpark. The coastal hike is easy with great
views. Approx 3.5km return. The trail continues on further around to Crescent Bay.
The first 1km of the hike crosses a series of undulating sand dunes covered in coastal heath vegetation. This section is easy going and it is highly likely you may cross paths with echidnas during warmer months.
The walk to the
blowhole should take approx. 20 minutes. The
blowhole is in fact a gaping cavity. Care must be taken when viewing the
blowhole as the edges appear quite fragile. The
blowhole was formed when a sea
cave collapsed leaving behind a deep, narrow sink hole. Puffs of sea mist can often be seen rising as the ocean crashes below. A short side trail can be taken here to explore the rocky coast and gulch below.
A valid parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania's national parks.
Grade 2: Suitable for most ages. The track has a hardened or compacted surface that may have a gentle
hill section or sections and occasional steps. This is a Fuel Stove Only Area. Fires are prohibited.
