Freycinet National Park is a unique combination of dramatic pink granite peaks, secluded bays, sugar sandy beaches and abundant birdlife. Situated on Tasmania's dreamy east coast, the park occupies most of the Freycinet Peninsula and looks out to the Tasman Sea from the eastern side and towards the Tasmanian coastline from the west.
Freycinet National Park is a treasure of natural assets, including the pink granite peaks of the Hazards Range that dominate the Peninsula and the iconic Wineglass Bay. The short trek to Wineglass Bay will require some of your effort but it will be worth it since it is one of Tasmania's most stunning and most photographed views.
There are many more short walks across the park that are suitable for all levels and that lead to inconceivable secluded bays, clean beaches and bird-filled lagoons.
For an excellent half-day trek, continue on from the Wineglass Bay lookout down to the beautiful, perfectly curved beach and back to the park entrance via the Hazards Range for amazing views of Great Oyster Bay and the coastline surrounding the sleepy seaside village of Swansea. The Hazards look their best at sunrise and sunset when the pink granite glows brightly.
For a longer trek, take on the whole length of the Freycinet Peninsula on a minimum two-day walk, leading to more remote places like Cooks Beach and Bryans Beach. Maybe you can enjoy a longer stay here to enjoy this beautiful part of Tasmania.
The beautiful beaches and pristine waters that surround the park can are offered for swimming, kayaking or just strolling on the perfect white sand, while diving and snorkeling will open up to underwater views of abundant marine life.
Visit Tasmania is like stepping back in time! Similar in size to the republic of the island, life here is all about the great outdoors. Australia’s smallest state is full of history, art, foodie scene, and hiking trails but above all a remarkable wildlife. The Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania's east coast is a national park you should visit with its pink granite mountains, sandy beaches, and dense eucalyptus forest.
