Esperance, the last town of any size toward to eastern end of the WA coast, wins my prize for the best beaches.
Even the town beach is beautiful, lined with parks and Norfolk Pines.
I spent a day at Lucky Bay in the Cape Le Grand National Park to the east of Esperance. Granite rocks and more stunning beaches. My rather nice lunch time view at Thistle Cove, an hour of walking from Lucky Bay.
Whistling Rock, looks like a whale breeching. Apparently the wind sometimes make a whistling sound as it blows around the rock.
An un-named rock, on sentry duty, watching over Lucky Bay.
I stayed overnight in the campground at one end of Lucky Bay and went for a walk to the far end of the 2.5km long beach, and back.
Too cool for me to swim but quite a few people were in the water.
The white sand is so soft, it felt silky beneath my bare feet
My camp-site had the best view. The camp host did tell me that it is the one everyone wants.
Lucky Bay is famous for kangaroos on the beach. I didn't see any on the beach, but this mother and joey were happily feeding (and playing in the case of the joey) beside the main carpark.
A nice farewell as I prepared to begin my long drive back east.
