The park is best known for the stunning beauty of Wineglass Bay, its crystal clear waters and curvaceous international award winning white beach, it’s Tasmania’s most celebrated view. The indigenous history of Freycinet Peninsula goes back many thousands of years into deep time. It was only discovered by Europeans during Abel Tasman’s voyage of 1642 when navigating the East coast of Tasmania. Tasman named Schouten Island & the peninsula Vanderlyn’s Eylandt (believing it to be a chain of islands). This Myth was dispelled during the visit of Nicholas Baudin, the French explorer, in 1802-03. The Freycinet brothers were senior officers on Baudin’s expedition, although it is unclear which one the peninsula was named after.
The Majestic beauty of Freycinet’s granite mountains and white, sandy beaches have also long been admired by naturalists, artists & writers. The area was reserved as a National Park in 1916.
