Wineglass Bay Beach & East Coast Beaches
📍 Coles Bay TAS 7215
About
Tasmania's east coast is home to some of Australia's most spectacular beaches — pristine white sand, turquoise water and minimal crowds. Wineglass Bay (accessed via Freycinet NP) is world-famous, while Friendly Beaches, Binalong Bay and Picnic Rocks offer more accessible swim spots. All are free. The Bay of Fires in the north features stunning orange lichen-covered boulders. East coast beaches are calmer and warmer than the west coast, making them ideal for families.
