Overview
Tasman National Park showcases some of the world's highest dolerite cliffs at Cape Pillar and Tasman Island, rising 300 meters above the Southern Ocean. The park offers dramatic coastal scenery with sea caverns, blowholes, and lookouts that rival better-known Australian parks but with far fewer crowds.
