A narrow isthmus separating the Tasman Peninsula from the rest of Tasmania, Eaglehawk Neck is a favorite destination for Tasmanian tourists and families. The isthmus itself is bordered by Pirates Bay to the east and Norfolk Bay to the west. In the days of the early settlers, the narrowest part of the isthmus, nicknamed the Dogline, formed a natural prison for the incarcerated from Port Arthur. A line of dogs, specially trained for this role, prevented the prisoners from escaping the penitentiary. EagleHawk Neck is home to the legendary waters of Pirates Bay and several other popular geological sights.
