Rocky Cape National Park reviews
23A serene natural coastal area to explore. Beautiful beach walks.white sand and clear water.
Great tracks, many options and distances. See caves, orchids, friendly echidnas, mountain dragon lizards.
Banksia forests, diverse heathland, scattered quartzite outcrops, beach, and the presence of the ancestors. Ready access through the popular holiday spot of sisters beach or from the west - best experienced by walking out snorkeling.
This is my favourite Tas national park for unspoilt bush walks away from it all. Fascinating vegetation, views and bird life. Tracks could do with a bit of tlc in places though!
Good spot for a hike, quiet, picturesque. The tracks need a little work but nothing too bad. Good spot
There are two ways you can go, either the banksia Grove and caves circuit or the anniversary bay circuit.
I combined both of them I started from the beach, went to the wet cave (bring a torch if you'd like to explore the cave!) If you'd like to do a shorter track, just do the banksia Grove and caves circuit. When you return from Lee archer cave, walk through the banksia Grove route, turn left and come back to the main point.
I decided to do the anniversary bay circuit after walking through the banksia Grove! Walked through the beach, there're some parts where I needed to climb above the rocks to get through! There were a lot of uphill tracks since I came went from the beach. Went up the broadhill view, it's only about 234m (the sign dropped so just lookout for the turn), the view on top is fabulous!
Took me about 3.5hours for the whole track, but I did stop quite a bit to take photos
The best views from any of the walks on offer. Walking tracks in pretty good condition & signposts at intersections. Can't get lost.
Anniversary Bay has got to be one of the best beaches anywhere.too bad the water is so cold, otherwise noone would go to the mainland
Amazing, huge walk but well worth it. Annie and I shared our curried egg sandwich and a cup of tea in isolation. Wow what an experience
Great tracks that are easy to navigate. Amazing views and beautiful coloured rocks and native flora
The anniversary bay loop is really worth it. A good diversity of landscapes and relatively easy for a 3-4 hour walk including stops. Quite exposed so probably best to avoid on a hot day!
Rocky Cape is stunning and quite beautiful for taking photos and fossiking around the rock pools at low tide.
Stunning scenery and so close to Devonport. So much to explore. Lots of cultural heritage. Would love to visit again.
The park itself is great but the entry from Sister's Beach boat ramp is confusing. Get to the boat ramp, walk left on the beach and you will eventually find the tail entry marker.
Hiked for about an hour up the Postmans Track. Great views, great experience with great friends.
What a superb gem on the north coast of Tas! Picturesque views, impressive rock formations - the short south cave and north cave walks are both totally worth the 10/15mins each way.
Beautiful beaches, rock formations and caves with an important aboriginal history. There was almost nobody there when we visited on a Saturday morning in January. We decided to check our Rocky Cape because we were in the area, but I hadn't heard anything about it before so it was a pleasant surprise and I think it is an underrated gem on the North coast.
The parts I saw were awesome, I didn't explore as much as I would like but there are some great tracks and awesome scenery to enjoy. Some of the walks need to be better signed because there were loads I missed out on.
The scenery is spectacular, but we followed the "coastal path" between Rocky Cape and Sisters Beach. Often the path was absolutely impossible to find and we found ourselves pushing through thick scrub. The pathway needs re-stating and maintaining.
