About Devil's Kitchen
Devil's Kitchen is a natural coastal lookout in Tasman National Park at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania. It is a deep, narrow chasm formed by erosion of dolerite cliffs, viewed from a cliff-top platform about 50 metres above sea level. Located off Blowhole Road near Tasman Arch, it is notable for its dramatic sheer walls, ocean views and geological significance within the Tasman Peninsula's rugged coastline.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a short walk from a sealed car park to a fenced cliff-top viewing platform overlooking a deep, narrow bay enclosed by sheer dolerite cliffs. The site offers open ocean views, interpretive signage explaining the geology, and photo opportunities. The area is exposed with no beach access, surrounded by coastal heath and part of the Tasman National Park walking tracks connecting to Tasman Arch and the Blowhole.
