The spectacular dolerite columns and cliffs along the coastline of the Tasman National Park are popular areas for climbing and abseiling. Sea stacks north of Fortescue Bay, the “Candlestick” and “Totem pole” at Cape Hauy and more recently the clifflines around Mount Brown are used by climbers, abseilers and commercial operators. Please note that no bolting is permitted.
All of the cliffs climbed are National Estate listed for their geoheritage values and are accessed off the existing walking track network. Please use only existing tracks and do not add to track proliferation by creating new pads.
Bushwalking
Bushwalking tracks are found throughout the park. Walks vary from pleasant strolls along the beach and rocks to longer and more energetic walks. Many walks provide spectacular views of the rugged coastal formations. Walking opportunities range from short strolls and half day walks to 2-3 day overnight walks.
