Freycinet National park has something for everyone. We visited with our 8-month-old baby and were still able to do a few walks in the park including the Wineglass Bay Lookout, Sleepy Bay and the lighthouse walk. The scenery is breathtaking and the different hikes available cater to all abilities. The 24hr parking park pass cost about $25 which was worth the money as the walking trails and very well maintained! Definitely visit here if travelling in the area! There are camping sites you can hire in the park as well!

We hiked to the lookout, then hiked down to the beach. It states 1.5 hrs return from lookout, but going down took 30-40 minutes as it is down hill. Once you get to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful. We spent some time relaxing there, you can walk along the water, spend as long as you want, even go for a swim! Toilets are located here also. You can continue to the Hazards beach or walk back up to the top. Beware, this is strenuous, 1000 steps back up. We stopped few times to rest as we are only moderately fit. But it was all worth it. Must do if you can.

As you walk up the Hazards towards the Wine Glass Bay lookout, you do get some sweeping views back to Coles Bay. It's a small township, mostly nestled on a slope that graduates down to the beach, with views over the bay to the Hazards, which themselves are an interesting pink hue- due to the rose coloured feldspar which is a part of the mix of minerals, also including black mica and white quartz, in the ganite. Apparently, this seam of granite stretches, under Bass Straight, all the way back to Wilson's promitory in Victoria. Lucky Cole's Bay residents, to have such a view. The shops and cafe's are limited, but we liked Geographe, a small cafe slightly uphill from the jetty.

The short walk around the point and up to the lighthouse provided wonderful views across the ocean and also across to the mountains and bays in the National Park. The road up to the lighthouse is quite steep in parts. But the walk from the car park is relatively easy and takes you around the edges.

Stop in here on the way back from the Cape Tourville lighthouse. It is a short walk to the beach and you get lovely views of the rocks.
10. Honeymoon Bay
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By StephenSue - Canberra, Australia
Honeymoon Bay is tiny, very tiny, but an absolute gem. It has a small beach that boats can pull into, and good, sheltered safe swimming. From the beach, or off the gently sloping rocks you can then snorkel around the bay, and out into the more open water, in perfect safety. Wonderful shallow reefs and soft corals and sea grass bed teeming with fish. And, in the evening, wallabies come down to the beach to eat and pose for pictures. There are toilets some distance behind the beach and picnic facilities, and plenty of shade. There’s a fair bit of parking, but I expect on busy days this would fill up fast
