Hazards Beach

Hazards Beach is a secluded gem on the Freycinet Peninsula, often overlooked by visitors.

It is located on the inside of Great Oyster Bay, opposite Wineglass Bay. This beautiful beach is a must-visit if you're in the area.

Hazards Beach offers a picturesque landscape with white silica sand and clear aquamarine water. It is as beautiful as the world-famous Wineglass Bay. Visitors can swim in the pristine water and enjoy the scenic beauty. It is recommended to bring food and drinks to spend the day exploring the beach and its surroundings.

For those seeking adventure, there is a walking track that leads directly to Hazards Beach. The Hazards Beach walking track is part of the Peninsula Walk or the Wineglass Bay/Hazards Beach circuit. It stretches approximately 8.8 kilometers and takes about 3-4 hours to complete.

Alternatively, visitors can reach Hazards Beach via the Freycinet Aqua Taxi, which offers a drop-off service right at the beach. This option allows visitors to enjoy the stunning ocean and coastline views along the way.

Hazards Beach is worth visiting all year round. The summer months offer the best weather conditions, but it can be crowded with tourists. Spring or autumn are recommended for milder weather and fewer crowds. To get to Hazards Beach, visitors can take a bus or drive to the Freycinet National Park entrance from Devonport, Hobart, or Launceston. From the Visitors Centre, it is possible to access Hazards Beach on foot via the walking track. Alternatively, the Freycinet Aqua Taxi provides another convenient option to reach the beach.
