Freycinet National Park

Iconic coastal wilderness on Tasmania’s East Coast

Freycinet National Park is one of Tasmania’s most iconic destinations, known for its dramatic granite mountains, pristine beaches and some of the best coastal walking tracks in the state. Located on Tasmania’s East Coast, the park is home to world-famous scenery, including the much-loved Wineglass Bay.

From pink-hued granite peaks to sheltered bays with clear turquoise water, Freycinet National Park offers a unique mix of accessibility and wild beauty. Visitors can enjoy short scenic walks, longer coastal hikes, secluded beaches and lookout points that reveal sweeping views across the peninsula and Tasman Sea.

Wineglass Bay may be the park’s most photographed location, but it is only one part of the experience. Hazards Beach, Sleepy Bay and Cape Tourville each offer their own perspective of the coastline, while the extensive network of walking tracks allows you to tailor your visit to suit your pace. Wildlife is commonly seen throughout the park, including wallabies, wombats and seabirds.

Planning your visit to Freycinet National Park:

• A Tasmanian Parks Pass is required for entry

• Bring water, sun protection and comfortable walking shoes

• Walks range from easy lookout tracks to longer beach and coastal hikes

• Allow extra time to explore areas beyond Wineglass Bay

Staying nearby allows you to experience Freycinet National Park at its quietest and most atmospheric, particularly early in the morning or late in the afternoon. After a day exploring beaches and walking tracks, return to Wineglass Bay Estate to relax with a glass of local wine and a cheese platter as the light fades over the lagoon. It is the perfect way to end a day immersed in Tasmania’s East Coast wilderness.
