Rocky Cape National Park

The coastal reserve spans across wind-shaped cliffs, pristine sandy beaches, and hills offering views of Bass Strait and surrounding farmlands.

The park's caves contain ancient Aboriginal middens, comprising shells and bones that document coastal living patterns spanning thousands of years.

The area holds deep meaning for Tasmanian Aboriginal people, who named it pinmatik and used its caves and rock shelters for generations.

Visitors require a valid parks pass to enter and should bring food and water, as no commercial facilities exist within the park boundaries.

The geological formations consist of quartzite rocks from Precambrian times, which underwent natural folding processes to create distinct patterns.
