Visit the world famous Lake Hillier located offshore of Esperance on Middle Island. The spectacular bubble-gum pink lake is still not fully understood by scientists, but most suspect its colour has to do with the presence of certain type of algae.
Full day boat tours and scenic flights over the lake are available to Middle Island which is located 70 nautical miles from Esperance.
A pleasant 50km drive East of Esperance leads to the beautiful Cape Le Grande National Park where visitors can swim, fish, snorkel, boogie board, SUP board, and relax on the squeaky white sand.
Visitors can hike along the walk trails, climb Frenchmans Peak and enjoy the picnic/bbq facilities provided. Within the park are Lucky Bay, Hellfire Bay, Thistle Cove, Cape Le Grande and Rossiter Bay.
Relaxed kangaroos are regularly seen around the campsite and beach at Lucky Bay.
The Great Ocean Drive is approx 40km and commences on The Esplanade in front of The Jetty Resort. The Rotary Lookout provides fantastic views of the Esperance islands then continuing west the drive winds around the coastline where the beaches can be enjoyed. Car parks along the drive allow visitors to stop and enjoy the scenery. Further along, past Twilight Beach, a popular swimming beach, the Wind Farm can be seen before the road veers inland and around past Pink Lake and back in to the town centre. Bike/walking paths can be enjoyed between Esperance and Twilight Beach.
