Excursion Beaches of esperance tour at Esperance

Spend a half-day exploring a pair of iconic Esperance beaches at Cape Le Grand National Park.

Esperance, Cape Le Grand National Park, Frenchman Peak, Hellfire Bay

Depart Esperance pier by comfortable coach and, an hour later, find yourself immersed in the stunning Western Australia landscape of Cape Le Grand National Park. Stop for must-take photos of rugged Frenchman Peak – its pointed profile reminiscent of the headwear worn by 19th-century French soldiers. Travel onward to reach secluded Hellfire Bay, tucked languorously between huge granite boulders and showing off picture-perfect views with the islets of Recherche Archipelago jutting up from the surface of a seemingly endless azure horizon.

Lucky Bay, Lunch

After drinking this setting in, hop back aboard for the spin to your next shoreline of the day – just as spectacular and possessor of the esteemed title of Australia’s whitest beach. Lucky Bay’s uniquely bright sand contrasts with the limpid turquoise of the water along this broad crescent to create a mesmerizing display. With two hours to spend as you wish here, there’s plenty of time for some Indian Ocean swimming, perhaps a brisk exploratory trek or some world-class sun worshipping, and a chance to savor the included picnic box lunch and tea that’s been prepared for you.

You’ll also have a far less usual activity to make time for while here: keeping your eyes peeled for an encounter – or two - with the local kangaroos who frequent this shoreline. Famously inquisitive, they roam freely throughout the day and never seem to get a sunburn. When your beach time is up, settle back for the hour-long return to Esperance.
