    Wineglass Bay is within Tasmania's Freycinet National Park and is one of Australia's most iconic…read moredestinations. Cruise ships swing through Ho see it. Named for its unique crescent-shaped shoreline, the bay's curve resembles the rim of a wineglass when viewed from above. Its name, however, comes from a darker past. In the 19th century, the bay was used for whaling, and the waters would turn red, completing the "wineglass" imagery. Thankfully, today, it is just a beautiful beach.

There are a few way to get to this amazing, isolated beach: 1. Hike down from the wineglass bay lookout-a great and long walk (especially going back up likee 1000 stairs) 2. Take a water taxi from Coles Bay town to Hazard beach with Freycinet adventures then cross the isthmus on the largely flat trail (35 min leisurely walk) over to the beach 3. Hike down, water taxi back from Hazard beach-must book a specific time in advance We did #2 and really enjoyed our time. Had a 9 am pick up, arrived Hazard B at 9:30-got to Wineglass B a bit after 10-walked halfway down the huge beach-ate a snack, enjoyed the sun-walked back to Hazard B-walked a good bit of that even longer beach then hitched our ride back. Cost around $Aud 60 pp Round trip.
