There are numerous walks in the Freycinet National Park that include the world famous Wineglass Bay. The Lookout will give you one of Tasmania’s most celebrated views over the beautiful white sands of Wineglass Bay. The track is a short, fairly steep climb to the saddle between Mt Amos and Mt Mayson.
The new lookout has spectacular views over Wineglass Bay. From there you can return the way you came or follow the track down and spend time on the pristine beach. You may be lucky enough to spot a passing group of whales or a pod dolphins playing in the waves.
With remarkable coastal views of Freycinet National Park and a well-constructed walkway, this very easy walk is a great way for everyone to experience Freycinet. The elevated track loops around the automated lighthouse at Cape Tourville.
The track is wide, with even surfaces and gently graded slopes. Much of the walk is on a raised boardwalk which, at times, takes you right to the cliff edge, offering amazing views. Sights include the Hazards, Wineglass Bay and nearby offshore rocks known as The Nuggets.
Keep an eye out for wildlife. Sea birds, sea-eagles, whales, seals and dolphins have all been seen from here. Binoculars and a camera are recommended.
