Cape Pillar

One of the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere at over 300 metres, with views down the Tasman Peninsula and across to Cape Hauy.

This is not a roadside lookout. Cape Pillar is reached either on the booked Three Capes Track — a 46km, four-day walk starting with a boat from Port Arthur, with numbers capped at around 48 starters a day — or independently on the old Cape Pillar track from Fortescue Bay, a 29km two to three day return trip camping at Fortescue Bay and Bare Knoll. Either way you need to be self-sufficient, and the clifftops here are high, exposed and unfenced.
