Honeymoon Bay

Freycinet National Park

Granite peaks, white sand beaches, and the jewel of Wineglass Bay.

Overview
Freycinet National Park is a spectacular stretch of Tasmania’s east coast, known for its pink-hued mountains, turquoise bays, and powder-white beaches. Home to the iconic curve of Wineglass Bay, this protected peninsula is a haven for hikers, photographers, and lovers of wild natural beauty. Wildlife sightings are common—think wallabies, sea eagles, and whales offshore—and every vista is worthy of a postcard.

See and Do

The local favourite
Walk to the Wineglass Bay Lookout for breathtaking views over the crescent-shaped beach, framed by the Hazards mountain range. For the full experience, descend to the beach itself for a swim in its clear, cool waters.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Take a boat tour or sea kayak to explore Freycinet’s coastline, including hidden coves, sea caves, and granite cliffs that glow at sunset. The beaches at Honeymoon Bay and Friendly Beaches are also worth a visit for their secluded beauty.

Adventures in nature
Hike the Hazards Circuit or climb Mount Amos for panoramic views of the peninsula. Join a guided eco-cruise, sample fresh oysters in nearby Coles Bay, or stargaze under some of the clearest skies in Tasmania.
