Esperance

Esperance is in the south of Western Australia and it is in the middle of some of Australia’s most magnificent coastline. There are about 100 small islands in this area, home to colonies of seals, penguins and a variety of sea birds. The idyllic picture includes clear aquamarine waters and squeaky white beaches. There is a pleasant temperature in the summer, but it’s going to be very cold, rainy and windy during the winter months. Particularly worth seeing is the “Great Ocean Drive”, 36 km west of town, with stunning lookouts and beaches. “Blue Haven” and “Twilight Bay” are popular swimming beaches on this road. There is a good diving around the islands and for experienced divers are the wrecks of “Sanko Harvest” and “Lapwing” worth exploring. Accommodation between A$ 17-20 per night and dorm offers the “Esperance Guesthouse”, the “Esperance Backpackers” and the “Blue Waters Lodge YHA”, which has lovely bay views from the balcony.
