The peninsula is located north of Schouten Island and is contained within the Freycinet National Park. Features and locationThe peninsula is a large, dramatic land formation carved into Tasmania's eastern coastline. Known for its pink granite mountain range, The Hazards, and its sheltered, white sand beaches, the peninsula is the location for Freycinet National Park, the first national park to be declared in Tasmania, along with Mt Field National Park.[1] Also on the peninsula is the village of Coles Bay, the Friendly Beaches Reserve, and Wineglass and Honeymoon bays. Early historyThe first landing by Europeans was by Captain Weatherhead of the transport ship {{ship||Matilda|1790 ship|2}} on 27 July 1791. Due to the narrow northern isthmus, Weatherhead and Tasman mistook it for an island. Nicholas Baudin named the peninsula after French explorer Louis de Freycinet. Baudin also named Cape Baudin, Cape Faure, Cape Forestier and Thouin Bay, although that bay is now known as Wineglass Bay.[2][3] Shore-based bay whaling stations operated on the peninsula in the 1820s and 1830s at Wineglass Bay, Refuge Bay, Bryans Beach and Coles Bay.[4] See also{{stack|{{portal|Tasmania|Environment}}}}
