Why it's worth checking out
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.
