Log in

Wineglass Bay, via Lookout

Coles Bay, Tasmania

This walk allows you to dip your toes into the turquoise waters and wander the sparkling white sand of Wineglass Bay Beach. Take the track to the Wineglass Bay Lookout for one of Tasmania’s most celebrated views. Once you’re at the saddle, take the approximately 1000 stairs down to Wineglass Bay Beach. An additional 20-minute stroll along the sand to the southern end of the beach will give you magnificent views back towards the Hazards. Time spent on this spectacular beach is well-worth the trek; however, the challenging walk to Wineglass Bay Beach is not suitable for everyone. If you are less fit, allow extra time and take regular rest stops – they’re the perfect opportunity to admire the view! While it’s quite a workout, returning via the same track is the shortest and easiest route. There are no facilities along the track, although a toilet is available at the carpark. 2.5-3.5 hrs return, 6 km Grade 3: Some bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps. Supervise children, unpatrolled beaches. Steep track. Bushwalking experience required. Walking boots recommended. A valid parks pass is required for entry to Tasmania's national parks. Once inside Freycinet National Park, follow the main road to the walking tracks car park.
