Tasman Peninsula / Forestier Peninsula
The Tasman and Forestier Peninsulas are linked by a narrow isthmus, Eaglehawk Neck. On the east side of both peninsulas are storm-lashed cliffs and crags; the coast is particularly wild round Eaglehawk Neck.
The famous Tessellated Pavement is a natural rock platform which has been broken up into the appearance of square tiles. There are other striking rock formations at the Blowhole, Tasman's Arch and the Devil's Kitchen. In the northwest of the Tasman Peninsula is Lime Bay Nature Reserve with its sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. Inland are areas of heathland.
Also in the northwest of the peninsula is Coal Mine Historic Site, where convicts from Port Arthur hewed coal.
