Access

Rocky Cape National Park is situated on the north-west coast of Tasmania about two hours drive west of Launceston. The park has two approaches. From the west, turn left off the Bass Highway (A2) into Road C227 with park access clearly marked. From the east, turn off the Bass Highway 12km from Wynyard, to Boat Harbour Beach. About 1.5km from the highway take Irby's Road and travel 8km to Sister's Beach.

When driving at night please take care as you are sharing the road with wildlife.
