Table Cape Lookout

Table Cape Lookout is a coastal viewpoint in Tasmania offering views across the Bass Strait toward distant shores and the rolling farmland that surrounds this elevated promontory. From this vantage point, you can see the patchwork of agricultural fields, sandy beaches below, and rocky outcrops along the coastline.

The viewpoint was shaped by volcanic activity approximately twelve million years ago, which created the elevated plateau structure seen today. This ancient geological process left behind the distinctive rocky formations that define the coastline.

The observation point connects to Table Cape Lighthouse, the only mainland Tasmanian lighthouse that permits guided tours during specific periods.

Free parking and picnic areas are available for visitors wanting to spend time here. A walking trail of about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) accommodates different fitness levels and allows you to explore the surroundings at a comfortable pace.

A working lighthouse stands nearby and offers guided tours during certain periods, making this one of the few mainland lighthouse experiences in Tasmania. The combination of elevated viewpoint and operating beacon creates an interesting historical connection.
