Rocky Cape National Park

Stretching west of Boat Harbour for a rugged 12km along Bass Strait, Tasmania’s smallest national park protects a broad cape known to Tasmanian Aboriginal people – who made their homes in seaside caves here thousands of years before European occupation – as Pinmatik. Drive out to the squat lighthouse on the cape's tip for excellent Bass Strait views, and set out on nearby short walks to large North Cave (15 minutes return) and smaller South Cave (10 minutes return). Out of respect for the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, do not enter the caves.
