Port Arthur is located on the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, a World Heritage site and Australia’s most famous convict settlement. In the 19th century, it served as a prison for hardened criminals, surrounded by water on three sides in a strategically formidable terrain. The site preserves over 30 historical buildings, including the main prison building, church ruins, and the doctor’s residence. Visitors can take a boat tour of the bay and join guided tours. Nearby natural attractions include the Tasman Arch and the Devil’s Kitchen. The local cuisine features fresh Tasmanian oysters, lobsters, and other seafood.
