Wineglass Bay

Wineglass Bay is a scenic lookout destination in Freycinet, Tasmania, associated with the coastline around Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park. The area is known for views of the Hazards, the pink granite mountains that rise beside a sheltered stretch of coast, and the distinctive curve of Wineglass Bay.

The surrounding Freycinet Coast offers several ways to experience the landscape. The local tourism information highlights walks in Freycinet National Park, cruises around the peninsula, kayaking on the bay and scenic flights over Wineglass Bay. Visitors can also explore the area’s beaches, coastal scenery and outdoor activities, or simply spend time taking in the views.

Coles Bay is presented as a base for exploring the national park and coast, with accommodation ranging from camping and caravan facilities to cabins, bed and breakfasts, resorts and holiday houses. The website places Coles Bay about two and a half hours from both Hobart and Launceston, on Tasmania’s east coast.
