Cape Queen Elizabeth
Main Road, Tasmania, Australia
We begin our adventures on the island with a spectacular hike highlighting the amazing coastal scenery. We follow the Cape Queen Elizabeth trail. We don’t complete the full walk today, we walk to Mars Bluff, Miles Beach, the unique rock formations and then return. The first 30 - 40 minutes of the walk is an easy stroll along a wide, sandy track that takes you towards the beach through coastal heathland. We pass between Big Lagoon and Little Lagoon, home to a large number of water birds. A 10 minute uphill hike takes us over Mars Bluff, where the elevation provides a beautiful vantage of the surrounding coast. We walk down onto remote Miles Beach and explore the unique rock formations. We have plenty of time to take in this wonderful location, photograph the Arch before returning back to the start of the trail. The walk we complete is a total of around 6 kilometres, and is classified as easy to moderate, coastal walking.
