Tasman Arch is a natural rock arch at Eaglehawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula in southeastern Tasmania, about 54 km southeast of Hobart in a straight line, within Tasman National Park. The rugged coast of the Tasman Peninsula is known for strange rock formations, mostly of limestone and Jurassic dolerite. At Eaglehawk Neck several sit close together, including the Devils Kitchen, Tasman Arch, the Blowhole and the Tessellated Pavement. Further south rise the highest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere, with columnar dolerite cliffs at Cape Pillar and Tasman Island about 300 metres high. The huge arch opens in a cliff of layered brown and yellow rock, above a deep chasm where blue sea surges in, its rim topped with green scrub and eucalyptus forest. Visitors drive to a nearby car park and walk a short path to viewing platforms over the arch, then visit the nearby Devils Kitchen and Blowhole. The visit pairs well with the Port Arthur Historic Site.
