There are a lot of beautiful places in Tasmania, but Freycinet National Park is near the top of the list
With pink-tinted peaks, powder-white beaches and calm waters in every shade of blue, it'd be hard to find a peninsula as stunning as Freycinet. Explore Wineglass Bay — voted one of the world’s best beaches — and discover lesser-known coves dotted along Tassie's east coast. Traverse steep granite formations on a hike to the summit of Mt Amos. Or spot albatross, dolphins and whales from Cape Tourville Lighthouse followed by a local seafood lunch.

Visit Wineglass Bay
With powder-white sands lapped by eye-popping blue water, it's no surprise Wineglass Bay was voted one of the world’s top 10 beaches. Lace up your walking shoes for a scenic 11.5-kilometre circuit walk down to this iconic beach, and also the lesser-known, but no less stunning, Hazards Beach on the opposite side of the Freycinet Peninsula isthmus.
Hike coastal trails
Freycinet offers heaps of trails for all fitness levels, from the iconic Mount Amos with panoramic vistas over Wineglass Bay to the easy Cape Tourville Lighthouse Track. The beauty of hiking in Freycinet is that you have access to beach and bush. There's no better feeling than a refreshing swim after a sweaty hike.
See native wildlife
There are plenty of opportunities to see native wildlife while you’re out bushwalking. Critters you may encounter include wombats, wallabies, possums, quolls and (if you’re really lucky) Tasmanian devils. Or hop in a kayak to spot bottlenose dolphins, Australian fur seals, sea eagles and albatross. You can also see humpbacks and southern right whales between May and October.
See a colony of penguins
Head to Bicheno, a small town just north of Freycinet, to visit a colony of penguins. Watch these fascinating creatures waddling from the ocean to their rookeries where they feed their young. A word of warning: you’ll need to wear closed shoes as the penguins have been known to nip toes!
Hit the beach
From vast stretches of sand like Hazards Beach to hidden spots like Friendly Beaches, Freycinet isn't short of an idyllic beach or two. Many are deserted and squeaky clean (no, seriously, the sand literally squeaks beneath your feet). Get your vitamin-sea fix or simply plonk yourself down on the sand with a good book. You’ll often have the entire beach all to yourself, excluding the occasional wallaby that hops down to say hello.
Enjoy local seafood
Exploring Freycinet works up an appetite, so why not head over to Coles Bay, Oyster Bay or Spring Bay to enjoy a delicious seafood dinner washed down with some of Tassie’s best white wine. From grilled crayfish to freshly shucked oysters and creamy mussels, there’s no better way to eat seafood than when you can literally see where it was harvested from the restaurant table.
