After travelling Australia full time for 3+ years, this beach tops our list of our favourite beaches in the country!

If you have the time we recommend a few days here because it is so special.

The water here is crystal clear, white sand, and it's less crowded than Lucky Bay because it is more remote (but just as stunning).

Things to do there:

  • Surf (great for beginner surfers)

  • Drive on the beach and set up for the day

  • Fishing, beach cook up

  • Hike up the rock for a beautiful view and sunset

  • Great caravan park nearby (Duke of Orleans)

Know before going:

  • It's a 1-hour drive from Esperance town, so come prepared there is little available out here

  • No facilities, bring everything you need (especially shade and snacks)
