Narawntapu National Park, just east of Devonport, is one of the best and easiest places, at dusk, to see rare Forester kangaroos (Maria Island and Mt William national parks are the only other places), wombats, pademelons and Bennetts wallabies and even the Tasmanian devil grazing on the open coastal plains. It’s Tasmania’s equivalent of the Serengeti. The Springlawn area has the richest concentration of birds – robins, wrens and fantails or you may hear the sharp call of golden whistlers. Around the lagoon there are more than seven different species of ducks as well as herons, swans, cormorants, coots, bitterns, grebes and many other water birds. The beaches are also habitat for coastal birds such as oystercatchers, gulls and terns. At least one pair of the endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle and white-bellied sea eagles are often seen.
Access to the western end of the park is via the Frankford Highway (B71).

Camping: Bakers Beach area has good camping, picnic and wildlife viewing areas. Access to Badger Head (Narawntapu is the Aboriginal name for Badgers Head and West Head) on the eastern end of the park is via a gravel road branching off the West Tamar Highway at Yorktown.
Visit Penguin Island, which is accessible at low tide, but be aware that strong rips occur around the island. Also at low tide you can access Rabbit Island which was the hideout for bushrangers, Brown and Jefkins, in 1835.
