The Tasman Peninsula is a spectacular place for travelers in Tasmania. Known for its untamed, rugged coastlines and rich history, there are many reasons why you should visit this remote corner of Australia.
A special attraction with great time value is the Remarkable Cave. This pristine sea cave is conveniently located on the south coast of the Tasman Peninsula, close to other attractions such as the historic site of Port Arthur, the Cape Raoul Track and Mount Brown.
In this guide I will outline everything you need to know about visiting the Remarkable Cave in Tasmania. Since there has been some construction work done recently to update the site, there are a few important things you'll want to know in this post.
Where is the remarkable cave?
The Remarkable Cave lies at the head of a small coastal bay between the famous Cape Raoul and Cape Pillar in the south of the Tasman Peninsula. The cave is accessible via a spacious and newly constructed parking area approximately 101 kilometers (1.5 hours) from Hobart or 25 kilometers (25 minutes) from Eaglehawk Neck.
If you're visiting the Tasman Peninsula to see Port Arthur, be sure to include a trip to Remarkable Cave as it's just 9 minutes south on paved roads.

How do I get here?
The drive to the Remarkable Cave parking lot follows paved roads the entire way and is accessible with any type of vehicle. The best way to navigate to the cave is to type in the pin above, which is accurate.
Otherwise, drive to the Port Arthur Historic Site and then turn onto Safety Cove Road. Follow this road to the end to reach the Remarkable Cave parking lot.

The new staircase
Once you arrive at the dedicated car park you will find that this location is a great base for other activities including a few short walks and the recently upgraded Maingon Bay Lookout.

Apparently the stairs leading down to Remarkable Cave used to be very steep and dodgy. However, recent upgrades have made the cave truly accessible and safe. However, be warned that it is still quite steep but is really only of concern to those with chronic problems.
Once you get to the bottom, you'll notice the wide, elevated metal viewing platform. Here you can watch the water flow in and out of the cave. Unfortunately, it looks like access to the cave interior has been restricted with these new upgrades.

I visited at low tide. However, on this day there was still a significant swell and as a result water was tearing through the cave, making access in either direction truly dangerous.
About Remarkable Cave Tasmania
The Remarkable Cave is, in my opinion, one of the best sandstone sea caves in Tasmania. The cliff was eroded by heavy ocean shocks over millions of years.
Much of the boulders still lie beneath the entrance. This continues to be toppled by the ebb and flow of the tide. It's a really great sound.
