EsperanceThe Esperance region of
Western Australia is one of Australia's fastest growing visitor destinations.
Graced with a temperate climate year round and
sugar-white sand bordered by brilliant blue-water bays, the peace and simplicity of the
region is a large part of its appeal.
Void of high rise structures and crowds, the
Esperance region is instead characterised by spectacular coastal scenery; an abundance of
wildlife including seals, dolphins, whales, emus and sea eagles; pristine beaches;
hundreds of islands and extensive national parks. It is one of the only places in Western
Australia where you will see kangaroos sunbathing on the beach!
The Esperance region is a paradise for lovers of
the water and sun. Its beaches are considered among the best in the world and while
they provide ideal conditions for fishing, surfing, sailing and sandboarding, they are
just as popular with nature lovers and sunbathers seeking relaxation.
The surrounding Recherche Archipelago, consisting
of some 200 coastal islands, has a myriad of marine life in crystal clear water for divers
and snorkelers to enjoy. One of the most popular water activities in the region is that of
the Bay of Isles cruise. Get close to the region's wildlife as you make your way
across to Woody Island by boat, where there is simple but comfortable accommodation and
excellent walking trails.
When touring the region, be sure to visit
highlights such as the Pink Lake - a natural phenomenon true to its name; explore the Cape
Le Grand or Fitzgerald River National Parks; sample a home-made treat from the very
popular Merivale Farm Café; enjoy the unique four wheel driving tours along the coast;
wander amongst the spectacular wildflowers during season; or purchase a unique leather
souvenir made from local shark and fish skins.
The Esperance region offers you the chance to
escape to a paradise all of your own. The warm sun, fresh air and long stretches of
isolated beach make this an ideal region to 'get away from it all'.
The best way to view many of the Esperance region's
treasures is via the Great Ocean Drive.
