About

Find out what’s beyond the Wineglass Bay Lookout on this extended 11km circuit. It gives you a fuller and more challenging taste of beautiful Freycinet National Park.

After descending from the lookout to Wineglass Bay, take your time, enjoy a picnic, walk on the beach and paddle in the crystal-clear waters. Then cross the wide isthmus to the long sandy stretch of Hazards Beach.

Walk along Hazards Beach and you’ll reach the halfway point of this circuit. From here, the walk rises inland through She-oak forests and gives glimpses across Great Oyster Bay.  

As the track continues rounds Mount Mayson, it passes through coastal woodland occasionally dropping into seasonal creeks.  The circuit is 11km and this section can feel longer than it should. Eventually you'll return via this rocky coast to the car park.​
