Cape Queen Elizabeth Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Cape Queen Elizabeth Track is a relatively unique coastal walk that’s a mix of bushland, lagoons, dunes and remote beaches all in one route. Beginning near the island airstrip, the track passes between Big Lagoon and Little Lagoon, climbs over Mars Bluff, and continues through coastal heath to sweeping views across Adventure Bay and The Neck. Along the way, you can take a side trip to Miles Beach and spend a few hours exploring the rock formations and the quieter, wilder part of the island.

Miles Beach

Highlight • Beach

Miles Beach is a long, beautiful, quiet stretch of sand backed by dunes and coastal vegetation, with sweeping views across the water toward the mountains of southern Tasmania. Reached by a side track at low tide or after crossing Mars Bluff, the expansive shoreline, often windswept setting, and rock formations on the sand make it a great place to spend a few hours relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

Mars Bluff Arch

Highlight • Natural

The Mars Bluff Arch is a striking natural rock arch tucked under the cliffs right on Miles Beach. Shaped over thousands of years by wind and waves, the arch sits among other interesting layered rock formations, small caves and exposed coastal cliffs. Reached either by the beach at low tide or via the track over Mars Bluff, the arch is a fantastic natural feature along the walk and a popular spot for photography.

January 5, 2024,🇦🇺 Bruny island: the arch, cape Elizabeth track

We did part of the cape queen elizabeth track until the archway. It is better to follow official direction and maps (and not this gps), pack food and water, check also when low tide is.
