The Great Ocean Drive, Esperance

We spent 2 days at Esperance to explore 3 main features around the town. (1) Cape Le Grand National Park, (2) Great Ocean Drive and Esperance Foreshore, (3) Lakes around Esperance. Esperance locates on the Southern Ocean coastline, approximately 720km southeast of Perth, Western Australia.

The Great Ocean Drive is a 40 km circular loop drive taking in some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Australia. The sheltered, pristine beaches with their crystal clear waters and snow-white sands, including the popular Twilight Beach, are ideal for family swimming, surfing, windsurfing and fishing. Also included in the drive is the Rotary lookout, the Western Power wind farms, Observatory Point and the unique Pink Lake. A walking and cycling trail from the Rotary lookout to Salmon Beach is a pleasant way to see the sights.
