The beach is suitable for swimming, diving and snorkeling. There aren't many people on Wineglass Bay, so can always find places to rest with your family and have a picnic. On the hill near the beach, there is an observation deck with stunning views of the romantic bay called 'Wine Glass", the surrounding forests and the deep sapphire sea. There are parking lots and camping areas where you can stay for a couple of days. For vacation with your family in Wineglass Bay, you should bring food and drinks, water amusement equipment, umbrellas and rugs, and a tent.
