Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach circuit

From the Wineglass Bay car park, climb the made track through granite boulders to the saddle between Mount Amos and Mount Mayson, and take the short path to Wineglass Bay Lookout. Then go down the long flight of steps on the far side to the beach. From the south end of the beach, the Isthmus Track crosses the low neck of the peninsula to Hazards Beach. Walk north along the sand, then follow the Hazards Beach Track round the foot of the mountains, close to the water, back to the car park.

It is 11.6 km round with 304 m of ascent; allow about 3½ hours. The grade is Moderate: a steep climb on steps to the saddle and down to the beach, then sand and a rocky coastal track. Tasmania's parks service grades it 4 and suggests four to five hours.

Take plenty of water and sun protection, as much of the way is open. The granite steps can be slippery when wet. The Mount Amos track, which leaves from the same car park, is a steep scramble and not part of this walk.

A Tasmanian parks pass is needed. The car park is at the end of the road beyond Coles Bay, in Freycinet National Park.
