I Go To Pirates Bay / Tasmania


Pirates Bay in Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, is a 5 km stretch of white sand and turquoise water offering dramatic coastal scenery, top-tier surfing, and unique geological formations like the Tessellated Pavement.






Pirates Bay in Eaglehawk Neck  hosts a vulnerable Little Penguin colony, particularly during the summer breeding season (October–March). 

Visitors can see them return at dusk, but growing concerns over human interference—such as harassment, dog attacks, and illegal handling—have prompted calls for improved protection to save the colony from potential disappearance.

I Go To Eaglehawk Neck / Tasmania

Eaglehawk Neck is a narrow isthmus connecting mainland Tasmania and the Tasman Peninsula, and was once the site of the historic "Dog Line," which prevented prisoners from escaping. 

It was a strategically important military point leading to the Port Arthur penal colony, and today it is a tourist spot where visitors can enjoy unique rock formations such as the Tessellation Pavement and a beautiful coastline.
