Eddystone is a confirmed suburb/locality.[2] Eddystone Point, the eastern extremity of the locality, supports a lighthouse and is known to Aboriginals as Larapuna. In 2006 the Tasmanian Government issued a 40-year lease for the Larapuna lands surrounding the lighthouse.[3]
The Tasman Sea forms the north-eastern, eastern and south-eastern boundaries.[4]
The C846 route (Eddystone Point Road) enters from the west and runs through to Eddystone Point, where it ends.[2]
