Remarkable Cave
Remarkable Cave is located on the Tasman Peninsula, an area of land in the southeast of Tasmania that is surrounded by beautiful bays and the ocean.
The Peninsula has Storm Bay in the west and south, the Tasman Sea out to the east, and Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay to the north and northwest.
Remarkable Cave is remarkable not only for its unique form but also because its opening, when viewed from the viewing platform, resembles Tasmania.
Once a deep and covered cave, the site is today a deep rock bridge carved out of the sandstone rock face. The debris has long since disappeared into the Southern Ocean, apart from the large boulders in the hollow.
Unlike most sea caves, Remarkable Cave features two ocean-facing entrances caused by erosion along fractures created by ancient earthquakes.
It is a short walk from the carpark down 100 steps to the viewing platform, where you can see Remarkable Cave. It is best viewed at low tide.
Directions
From Hobart, head east along the Tasman Highway past the airport, then turn right onto the Arthur Highway at Sorell. Continue along the highway down through the Forester Peninsula until Eaglehawk Neck.
Eaglehawk Neck is the isthmus that connects the Tasman Peninsula near the town of Dunalley and is the gateway to the Tasman Peninsula.
