Wineglass Bay

Wineglass Bay, nestled within Tasmania's Freycinet National Park, is renowned for its pristine white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it one of the world's most picturesque beaches. The bay is framed by the pink granite peaks of the Hazards mountain range, offering visitors breathtaking views and a serene natural environment. Visitors can embark on the Wineglass Bay Lookout walk, a 1.3 km uphill trail leading to panoramic views of the bay. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach Circuit is an 11 km loop that takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete, offering diverse landscapes including forests, rocky cliffs, and additional beaches. Wildlife enthusiasts may encounter wallabies, sea eagles, dolphins, and, during migration seasons, whales. A valid parks pass is required for entry into Tasmania's national parks. Wineglass Bay is approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Hobart and a 2.5-hour drive from Launceston, making it accessible for visitors from both cities.
