Wineglass Bay & Freycinet

Spectacular setting that’s hard to beat

Located in the remote Freycinet National Park, the impeccable white sand and glistening turquoise water of Wineglass Bay is arguably one of the world’s best beaches. You will share the stunning untouched scenery with the local wildlife including friendly wallabies. Wineglass Bay and Freycinet should be on everyone’s destination bucket list!

Avoid the windy days

It can blow a gail on the east coast of Tasmania, so the ideal time to soak up the beauty of the Freycinet Peninsula is during summer when the sun is shining. On a clear day, you will have magnificent views of the pink granite mountains, rich native bushlands and golden sunsets.

Being voted in the Top 10 Best Beaches in the World by several travel magazines, you would expect the region to be popular. Our tip to enjoy the magic of the Freycinet Peninsula without the crowds is to start your explorations early. For the ultimate experience, pack a light breakfast, head off on your walk and watch the sunrise. You won't be disappointed!
