Eaglehawk Neck

Steeped in history and surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery, Eaglehawk Neck is one of Tasmania’s most intriguing locations. Once the narrow isthmus that linked Port Arthur to the rest of the island, it was heavily guarded during the convict era — even patrolled by a line of dogs across the sand to prevent prisoners from escaping. Today, the area is far more welcoming, offering a fascinating blend of history and natural beauty.

Just a short drive from the Neck, you’ll find the incredible Tasman Arch — a massive sea-carved bridge of rock that gives a glimpse into the power of the ocean below. Nearby, the Tessellated Pavement is another natural wonder, where the flat rock formations along the shore have cracked and weathered into neat geometric patterns, almost as if they were laid by human hands.

The coastal walks around here are full of character, with rugged cliffs, sea caves, and ever-changing light that makes for striking photographs at sunrise or sunset. It’s one of those places where Tasmania’s wild coast and layered history meet perfectly.
