This picturesque beach is featured on nearly every book and postcard of Tasmania -- Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. The walk up to the lookout is well-built, but crowded by too many tourists. The rest of Tasmania is free from such crowds, even at Port Arthur and Cradle Mountain they won't be in your way as the place spaces out. But here, Cori and I were relieved to get away from the most travelled path and go the steep way down from the lookout to Wineglass Bay itself. No noise there, except the rolling of the waves washing from the turquoise bay onto the white sandy beach. The weather had cleared up and we both dared a quick jump into the ice-cold clear waters!
The sun dried us, and then we took the long way back, which was another beautiful walk, across the isthmus to Hazard Beach and then following the rocky coastline to the carpark. We walked 11 km altogether, so we did have some exercise!
