Neck Beach on Bruny Island is a spectacular beach. Dividing north and south Bruny it sits between Simpsons Bay to the west and Isthmus Bay to the east. This beach has won a Tourism Australia award for best beach, and rightfully so – 10km of pure beauty.
Conditions vary greatly and there are many RIPS, so only swim when the conditions suit your ability. Often a good surf beach.
Access is somewhat limited, parking and toilets mid-beach at the Trugunini viewing station with a 300m walk to the beach. There are also stairs to a viewing platform with spectacular views up and down the beach on both sides. There are also small roadside offsets with limited parking along the beach shore – your best option is a camping ground at the south end with parking, toilets, overnight camping, and caravan options—a 50m walk to the beach.
