Wineglass Bay Lookout
Wineglass Bay is in the Freycinet National Park on the East Coast of Tasmania. The walk to the lookout is short but steep and worth it once you get to the top and see the fantastic views of Wineglass Bay.
The crystal clear blue waters and white sandy beach of Wineglass Bay are breathtaking sights and are one of the most photographed places in Tasmania.
It's an incredible experience to watch the sunrise over Wineglass Bay.
The Wineglass Bay Lookout is one of the 60 Great Short Walks of Tasmania
The Walk - 1.5 hours return - 2.6 kilometres - Grade 3
The first part of the walk to the Wineglass Bay Lookout has beautiful views over Coles Bay and the Freycinet mountain peaks.
The uphill walk is steep in places, but the track is well-constructed with many steps. There are several seats to relax and catch your breath on the way up, and the view at the top makes it worth it.
The track weaves between giant granite boulders and through scrubby bushland.
A lookout halfway along the track with sweeping views over Coles Bay is a great spot to stop for a rest and take some photos.
Continue along the track until you reach the top; there are several lookouts, all with great views over Wineglass Bay.
Once you have enjoyed the views from the Wineglass Bay Lookout, head down along the Boulderfield Track to the carpark.
You can also walk down to Wineglass Bay beach and across to Hazards Beach; this hike is an 11-kilometre Grade 4 circuit and will take approximately 5 hours.
Notes:
Toilets are available in the day-use area near the carpark.
.A valid Tasmanian National Park pass is required.
Plenty of parking available, suitable for Motorhomes.
Directions to Freycinet National Park
The park is about 2.5 to 3 hours from either Launceston or Hobart. Turn off the Tasman Highway (A3) onto Coles Bay Road (C302), 12km south of Bicheno. The main park entrance and Freycinet Visitor Centre are accessed by driving straight through the Coles Bay township, 28km from the highway, on a sealed road.
Camping at Freycinet National Park.
We stayed at Friendly Beaches in the Freycinet National Park, a lovely spot right near the beach but protected from the wind by coastal bushes surrounding the campsite. You can stay for a maximum of 14 nights. There are toilets available near the day-use area. The cost for 2 Adults is FREE!
The turn-off is approximately 19km before the Coles Bay township and the main Freycinet National Park entrance.
You can also camp on a powered site at Richardsons Beach, Honeymoon Bay, and Ranger Creek for $16.00 per night. These areas are popular, and you must book with the Visitor Centre.
