Wineglass Bay Lookout

The Wineglass Bay Lookout sits in Freycinet National Park, on Tasmania's stunning east coast. One of the state's most famous and beloved natural attractions, the lookout offers a breathtaking view over the perfect curve of Wineglass Bay — the iconic crescent of white sand and turquoise water that's one of Australia's most photographed beaches, reached by a popular walking track through the granite peaks of the Hazards.

The appeal is that combination of an unforgettable bushwalk and a genuinely world-class view: the climb up to the lookout rewards you with the iconic vista over Wineglass Bay, making it an absolute must-do for visitors to the east coast. The dramatic granite mountains, the pristine bay and the sweeping scenery make it one of Tasmania's signature experiences.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved attraction. It's a national-park walk involving a steady uphill climb on natural tracks, so it pays to wear sturdy footwear, take water and sun protection, check track conditions and weather and allow plenty of time, and national-park entry fees apply — so it's worth checking park information before you go, then enjoying the spectacular view at Wineglass Bay Lookout.
