Esperance is a pretty town on the south west coast about 720 kms east of Perth. It has a population of 10,000 and with 5 National parks in the vicinity tourism is a main industry.
We had the choice of 2 camping areas in the park and chose Lucky Bay as the caravan sites have sea views of the beach which is said to have the whitest sand of any beach in all Australia.

This is the view you see as you drive to the camp site. The water is an amazing turquoise against the white sand
We stayed for 3 days enjoying all the park had to offer. It is 78,000 acres and the landscape is granite rocks and sand plains which are covered in wildflowers. There are large areas of banksias and lots of birds. Also heaps of Western Grey kangaroos which are very friendly. We met some lovely people and explored Cape Le Grande beach, Hellfire Bay and Frenchmans Cap, the granite peak.

Incredible beach - just beautiful
ReplyDeleteYes it is one of the best that we have ever been too but I just wish the water temperature was warmer so I could swim. The Southern Ocean is even colder the NZ waters!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the water
