Tasmans Arch — Attraction in Tasman

Tasman Arch is surreal. A cave that once stood, now collapsed, leaving behind towering cliffs and a vast opening where rock used to be. You stand at the edge and try to imagine the sound it must have made when it gave way. Stone breaking, crashing into the sea, swallowed by the waves.

It’s well worth seeing. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, well-maintained paths. The main lookout is busy, but if you walk further along the trails, the crowds thin out, and the views are just as incredible.

The cliffs are raw, dramatic. Wind cutting through the gap, waves rolling in far below, carving away at the rock bit by bit. The power of it is hard to ignore. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how much time shapes the land.

Everything is well looked after—good facilities, clear signage, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. Tasmania does this well. Wild, but accessible. Rugged, but never uninviting.

This is one of several interesting natural land formations that you can see around the Eaglehawk Neck area. It is located next to a fairly large carpark at the end of Tasman Arch Road. There are toilets at this stop as well. The Arch is just a minute or two walk from the carpark. You will see a massive natural arch formation caused by sea erosion. There is an information panel explaining now the arch was formed as well.

In addition to viewing the Tasman Arch, there is a short walk to a lookout point nearby. You can also take a longer quality hike up the Waterfall Bay Trail (3.4 km return) from here. This is one of the 60 Great Short Walks of Tasmania and includes a start from the Devil's Kitchen. If just viewing the Arch and Devil's Kitchen, allow 20 minutes for your stop here. If doing the Waterfall Bay Trail, allow an...

Some really pleasant views of Tasman Arch, located very close to the car park area. You can walk most of the way around the Arch itself for photos, and there's a protective barrier with a walkway. Amazing spectacle formed by nature, and great to see the bird life in the area too, which are typically located along the ridges of the Arch. It's definitely worth visiting, particularly in combination with the other points of interest in the area which are all very close and a short walk...
