Wineglass Bay, Coastal bay in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania, Australia
The curved bay stretches between pink granite mountains with pure white sand shores and turquoise waters meeting the Tasman Sea.
The bay received its name in the 1820s when whaling operations turned the waters red, resembling wine in a glass.
The Pydairrerme aboriginal people utilized the coastal resources of this region for approximately 30,000 years before European arrival.
The Wineglass Bay lookout trail requires a 1.3-kilometer uphill walk from the car park, taking 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
Sea eagles patrol the skies while dolphins swim near the granite cliffs, creating a meeting point of mountain and marine ecosystems.
