Tasman Arch

Getting around: On the Tasman Peninsula, about 1.5 hours from Hobart, close to Port Arthur — most visitors combine both on the same drive, as it's just a short detour off the main road.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a natural site with a short walking track from the car park; best visited in daylight.

A dramatic natural rock arch carved by wave erosion along the Tasman Peninsula's coastline, reached via a short, easy walk from the car park, with the nearby Devils Kitchen blowhole/chasm often visited in the same stop. It's a quick but genuinely striking coastal geology detour.

Given its proximity to Port Arthur, it's almost always visited as an add-on to that trip rather than a standalone destination — worth the short detour on the way to or from the historic site.
