One of Tasmania’s best coastal drives…

Heading from Ulverstone to Stanley? Take your time — this is a journey worth slowing down for.
Make sure you stop in at Boat Harbour Beach, often named one of Tassie’s best beaches for good reason. Think crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and a peaceful spot to stretch your legs (or stay a while).

Pack a picnic, grab a coffee or lunch at the cafe, or just soak up the view before continuing along the stunning North West Coast.
Sometimes the best part of the trip… is the stop along the way.

Walk on top of The Nut!

You can't come to Stanley without taking a closer look at this incredible landmark and yes, you can actually walk right around the top of The Nut!

The steep climb to the summit gets the heart pumping, but once you're up there, the reward is pretty special. Follow the track around the plateau and take in 360° views across Stanley, the coastline, Bass Strait and the surrounding countryside.

And don't forget to look down… Stanley looks pretty tiny from up here!

Not keen on the climb? No worries. You can also take the chairlift up and save your legs for exploring the walking track at the top.

So, pack your walking shoes, grab your camera and get ready to see Stanley from a whole new perspective.

And when you're done, there's nothing better than heading back down for a wander around town, a coffee and a well-earned treat.

📍 The Nut, Stanley
Stay just beneath it at BIG4 Tassie Getaway Parks Stanley

Come for the views. Stay for the getaway.
