Freycinet National Park is a place of dramatic beauty, where the rugged granite coastline meets turquoise waters and pristine white sand beaches. The iconic Wineglass Bay (regularly voted as one of the world's top ten beaches) is recognised globally for its curvaceous white beach with the Hazards mountain range providing a breathtaking backdrop.
Our passionate team is excited to be part of your Freycinet adventure and help you fully discover this magical region.
Hazards Beach - The Fastest Way to Wineglass Bay
Enjoy a scenic 30-minute cruise along the striking granite coastline of Great Oyster Bay, while our local guides share fascinating stories about the area’s history and wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for seals, seabirds, dolphins, and even migrating whales who might pop up to say hi!
Upon landing at Hazards Beach, it is a gentle 2-kilometre bushwalk along the Isthmus Track to Wineglass Bay. This 30-minute walk takes you through classic Australian bushland, where you’ll have a chance to spot native flora and fauna along the well-marked trail. Keep a lookout for friendly echidnas and wallabies as you make your way to the soft white sands and crystal-clear waters of Wineglass Bay.
Be sure to pack your beach gear and a picnic. We recommend taking a few hours to unwind on the pristine beach and dip your toes in the sparkling sea before heading back to Coles Bay by boat from Hazards Beach or bushwalk via Hazards Circuit or Wineglass Bay Lookout routes.
