Located in the suburb of Tamarama, Tamarama Beach – also known as Tamarama Park Beach and also unofficially called Glamarama Beach and Glamourama Beach – is a 100-meters-long beach with light brown sand, a few rocks, and nearby headlands.  This beach is popular with members of the gay community and has been listed by the TimeOut magazine as “The best LGBTQI + and Gay beaches in Sydney.”  This beach was the subject of a painting by artist Julian Rossi Ashton that was titled Tamarama beach, forty years ago, a summer morning.

Tasmania's Wineglass Bay owes its beauty to its unique geographical shape -- the bay sweeps across the water as if to form a perfect circle, then stops right at the bottom to leave a pathway to the Tasman sea. The water at the shoreline is a bright turquoise, then fades to a darker blue as you leave the bay. The layers of color are absolutely breathtaking against the pure, white sand on the beach. There are pink granite mountains rising up from around the beach, forming an incredible bay whose beauty simply cannot go unnoticed.

Wineglass Bay is a short walk if you're coming from the campgrounds at Coles Bay; if you're coming from the entrance of Freycinet National Park, the hike will take about two hours, leading to a rocky lookout point, then down to the beach. There are many activities on the bay, including fishing, boating, kayaking, rock-climbing, and relaxing on the sand. You can book a cruise that tours around the peninsula, or take the four-day guided tour that treks along the entire peninsula, called the Freycinet Experience Walk. The peninsula was once home to a Tasmanian tribe that walked the very paths that make up the Freycinet Experience Walk thousands of years ago.

Lodging at the bay ranges from campgrounds to resorts; whether you'd rather be social and cheap, or pampered and ritzy, you'll definitely find your comfort at Wineglass Bay. The Edge of the Bay Resort is the best accomodation at the beach, with amazing views and even better service. The best way to close the day at the beach is to sit back and enjoy the dazzling sunset of pink, orange, blue, and purple hues. Whatever your idea of a perfect vacation looks like, we can guarantee that Wineglass Bay will come awfully close.
