Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Port Arthur Historic Site
Buildings and ruins explain convict history; interpreted visits offer more than photographs of the site.
Viewpoint
Tasman Arch
This rock arch reveals coastal erosion; view it from designated points without approaching cliff edges.
Walk
Cape Raoul
The trail leads towards dolerite cliffs; prepare for a substantial hike and stay clear of exposed edges.
