Why should you visit Esperance?
Road-tripping to Esperance, Western Australia, is an absolute must at least once in your lifetime. An eight hour drive from Perth, there’s loads to see along the way. Have a selfie with a Giant Ram in Wagin, or surf Wave Rock in Hyden. Slow down to admire the wildflowers in spring, or cruise down the Tin Horse Highway to check out the bright and quirky community creations.
Located 720 kilometres southeast of Perth, Esperance is known for its clear blue water and pure white sand. If you’re looking for a holiday destination with uncrowded beaches and a laidback, coastal vibe, Esperance is it. A small town filled with friendly faces, Esperance is the ideal holiday spot for those chasing a relaxed getaway, protected from the pace of city life. Whether you’re a couple or family, young or young-at-heart, Esperance has something for you.
Esperance is the gateway to Cape Le Grand National Park. The national park is most famous for Lucky Bay, where kangaroos spend their days sunbathing on the shore. However, Lucky Bay is just one of many breathtaking beaches in Cape Le Grand. Hellfire Bay and Thistle Cove are equally as stunning, with vibrant blue water and white, white sand. Another highlight of the national park is Frenchman Peak, which provides some pretty awesome 360 degree views from the top. Pack your walking shoes, because this is one hike you won’t want to miss out on. Cape Le Grand alone is worth the drive to Esperance, but is just one of many reasons to visit.
On the edge of town is the Great Ocean Drive, a 40 kilometre loop around some of the most stunning beaches in Australia. West Beach, Blue Haven and Twilight Cove are favourites with locals and visitors alike. They provide a safe place to swim and are, quite often, protected from the wind. However, along the drive, there are many other spectacular beaches to choose from. Whether you want to swim in a lagoon, surf or snorkel, you’ll find what you’re after along the Great Ocean Drive. Stop in to see the Ten Mile Lagoon Wind Farm along the way, and take the perfect holiday photo from Observatory Point, which provides amazing views of the Recherché Archipelago.
After beach hopping, there’s little doubt you’ll need reenergising. There are heaps of great spots to grab a coffee in Esperance, or treat yourself to a cocktail from the Taylor St Quarters. If beer is more your thing, head out to Lucky Bay Brewing for a selection of craft beer, brewed locally using barley grown on the outskirts of town. They knock out delicious wood fired pizzas too, which will hit the spot after a day of adventuring.
