Everything about Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania totally explained

Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus connecting the Tasman Peninsula to mainland Tasmania. Locally known as the Neck the isthmus itself is around 400 metres long and under 30 metres wide at its narrowest point. It forms a natural gateway to the peninsula that was utilized by the British in 1830s when a line of dogs was chained to posts across the neck to warn of any convicts attempting to escape the prison at Port Arthur. The area was heavily patrolled by soldiers, and the guards quarters still remains as a museum. Many attempts were made to escape the neck, including Martin Cash and others.
The area has a beautiful and rugged terrain and several unusual geological formations including Tessellated Pavement, an area of flat rock that looks to be man made but is in fact formed by erosion. Also nearby are Tasman's Arch, the Blowhole and the Devil's Kitchen, all striking natural formations.
Eaglehawk Neck offers accommodation in the Lufra Hotel, near the Tesselated Pavement, and the Backpackers on Jetty Road. The general store is called "The Officers' Mess". A nearby footpath leads to Martin Cash's lookout near the top of the hill at the southern end. Eaglehawk Neck is a well known local holiday destination, on the eastern side, a beach stretches around Pirates' Bay that's a popular surfing area. In summer the population rises as people return to their holiday homes.
