1. Wineglass Bay

    The near-perfect crescent of white sand at Wineglass Bay curves between granite peaks in Freycinet National Park, its geometry sheltering clear water from the Southern Ocean's rougher moods. Reach it by foot through dense bush, and you'll find a shoreline unmarred by development, where soft pink mountains and quiet air feel less like a destination than a reprieve.
