Easy 20 minute walk up to the lighthouse with a lovely coastal view board walk around the cliff edge.
Fantastic views to the entrance of Wine Glass Bay and so
Much rugged coastal scenery.
Very enjoyable.

A beautiful spot in the Freycinet NP. There is a car park area and a walk up to the lighthouse along the coast. Not a long walk but a picturesque walk to see the amazing coastline. Great views and photo opportunities. Unfortunately the day we went it was cold and rainy but still amazing

I was expecting a gravel walk all around but there is a boardwalk set with rails, amazing work! The views of the ocean and surrounding mountains are beautiful. Less than 20 minute walk to complete and flat walk. Only a short drive from the visitor centre. Highly recommended.

Easy 5 minute drive from the visitor centre and less than that from Freycinet Lodge. Large carpark and 5 minute walk to lighthouse. Most is fairly flat compacted gravel but there is a boardwalk as well. The view is just amazing. Gorgeous and definately worth the short drive to.

Was really impressed with the views of the cliffs and surroundings.
Not really well advertised but certainly well worth the drive.
Very easily accessible and excellent viewing platform to get many vantage points of the water and cliffs.
Very impressed.
Be careful driving as there are many deep potholes on the very narrow road.
But all part of the experience.

We stayed at Freycinet Lodge so we drove about 15 mins up to the Cape Tourville carpark. It was a well marked and easy walk with amazing views. Don't forget to look out for the comparison of whale sizes on the pathway, so interesting! I never knew sperm whales are so large!!

Very accessible, easy boardwalk (especially for the elderly) and the views are amazing! Picture perfect from any angle and a good platform for some bird watching, whale/penguin spotting.

Cape Tourville lighthouse walk is definitely worth doing as the views are stunning of Wineglass Bay and up the East Coast to Bicheno. It's approx 15 minutes drive from Coles Bay through the National Park to the CT lighthouse car-park.
The walk is very easy along a wooden board walk & is totally suited to all levels of walkers. It takes around 20 minute circuit walk but extra time is needed for taking in the stunning views along the boardwalk.
There are Toilets, picnic and electric barbecue facilities & parking fees apply for the National Park entrance fee.

The Cape Tourville Lighthouse is an unmanned, automatic lighthouse built in 1971 and sits at the crest of Cape Tourville at an elevation 126 meters, allowing it to cast a beacon a great distance up and down the east coast of Tasmania.
You cant access the lighthouse but there is a good circuit walk around it which is worth the trip off the access road into the Freycinet national park.
