Whats here?

A stunning stretch of white sand and crystal-clear water near Esperance — when I got to this beach I thought, “this is paradise."

What to expect

  • Bright white sand and insanely clear water

  • Calm conditions some days, small surf on others

  • Vehicle access onto the beach (we took our AWD on and saw vans too)

  • Huge open space — plenty of room to spread out

Is it worth it?

Yes — 100%. This is a must-do. Easily one of the best beaches around and potentially one of the best you’ll visit in WA. If you’re anywhere near Esperance, make the detour.
