Rocky Cape National Park

Rocky Cape National Park is a coastal national park in north-west Tasmania between Wynyard and Stanley, within the Waratah-Wynyard and Circular Head local government areas. Established in 1967, it protects rugged headlands, sandy beaches, heathlands and two significant Aboriginal caves. The park is notable for its Aboriginal rock shelters with rock art, diverse wildflowers, coastal views across Bass Strait and a network of short walking tracks accessible from the Bass Highway.

Visitors can expect a compact coastal park with two prominent headlands, rocky coves, sandy beaches including Sisters Beach, and heath-covered hills. A network of short walking tracks leads to lookouts over Bass Strait, to North Cave and South Cave rock shelters, and along the coastline. The landscape features wildflowers in spring, birdlife, and interpretive signs about Aboriginal heritage and natural values. Facilities are basic with car parks, picnic areas and marked tracks.
