The imposing granite peaks of the Hazards and the many white sandy beaches that dot the peninsula are among the highlights of the park. Combined with a typically mild, maritime climate, the scenic beauty of the area attracts many visitors each year. Birdwatching Many species of birds live in or stop over at Freycinet and the surrounding area. You may also see or hear large yellow-tailed black cockatoos, which often feed and fly in raucous groups. Moulting Lagoon Game Reserve, just outside the park on the Coles Bay Road, is a wetland of international importance and is also worth a visit.
Bird lists are available from the park entry station.
