Tasman Peninsula

Your visit to Tasmania isn’t complete without spending time on the magnificent Tasman Peninsula region, where past and present come together.

The Tasman Peninsula region is located in southeast Tasmania and includes the Tasman National Park, Eaglehawk Neck and State Reserves, and approximately 240 km of coastline. Eaglehawk Neck and the Forestier Peninsula separate the National Park from the mainland. The range of habitats found in the small area and insular nature of the peninsula provide a high natural diversity. The diversity of flora and fauna is very high and in a relatively natural state, with several species endemic to the peninsula and several birds listed as threatened species frequenting this area.

The geological attributes of the Tasman Peninsula are obvious: the spectacular coastal scenery has internationally significant geological values. Landforms include Remarkable Cave, Tessellated Pavement, Tasman Arch, Devils Kitchen, and The Blowhole.
