Eaglehawk Neck was originally known as the gateway for stopping convicts from being able to escape from Port Arthur. It was guarded at the narrowest point to prevent convicts being able to escape the peninsular. Nowadays it is better known as a little holiday town, surfing and the departure point for tuna fishing charters.
There is generally great surf, with point breaks as well as reef and beach breaks, also some of the most spectacular natural formations are just south of the beach, starting with the Blowhole, the Tasman Arch and The Devils Kitchen. Around all of these amazing attractions are spectacular cliffs and side lookouts, where you can see the vast rugged coastline.
At the northern end you will find the Tessellated Pavement, where the rocks have been formed by nature to look just like endless rows of pavers, right down to the edge of the water. A stop off point you can not miss on the way though. You could very easily kill a few hours exploring the area.
