Esperance

From the moment you arrive in the paradise of Esperance Western Australia, you can't help but relax.

Shallow bays of gorgeous turquoise waters and bright, white sand are the major attractions of Esperance beaches. In 2007, Esperance's Lucky Bay was named the whitest beach in Australia – the south-west's answer to Broome's magnificent Cable Beach.

Located on the southern coast of Western Australia and spanning over 400km of stunning coastline, the township itself, Esperance Bay and other local beaches are sheltered by over 100 rocky islands – forming the 'Recherche Archipelago' in the Bay of Isles.

With many Esperance travel attractions within walking distance of the town centre, visitors and locals alike take delight in soaking up the stunning, natural scenery and entertaining wildlife.

Esperance weather is mild to cool, with temperatures 10-15 degrees lower than Perth, so prepare to spend your time walking, sight-seeing, fishing and eating. In the town centre, local Esperance cuisine has an excellent reputation.

Esperance accommodation caters for every budget. You can even choose to stay on the Archipelago islands during your Esperance holiday. Woody Island, where you'll be immersed in dense native bushland, is a popular choice.

Land and sea tours are available for the ultimate in sight-seeing; or simply grab yourself an Esperance map and follow a scenic drive through one of five local national parks. Don't miss seeing the exotic looking Pink Lake of Western Australia.

A 725km drive from Perth, Australia, the isolated country town of Esperance Australia lies south of Kalgoorlie, about 4.5 hours from Albany.
