Esperance

Esperance accommodation
Esperance tours

Esperance has an interesting coastline, beaches and is very good for fishing. Esperance is 720 kilometres from Perth. Named after two French frigates L’Esperance and the second was the Recherche. As a result, the bay was named Esperance Bay and the islands nearby became known as the Recherche Archipelago. The town lies on a bay, with the islands of the Recherche Archipelago visible offshore. Esperance is a popular tourist destination, an agricultural centre and a seaport.

Archipelago of the Recherche
Also known as the Bay of Isles and far easier to pronounce, is comprised of about 100 islands. Here you will find sandy beaches and tropical waters, as well as plenty of wildlife and sea creatures. There are a couple of cruise tours that can take you over to the islands for 2 hours or all day trips (08 9071 1772).

Australian Parrot Farm
Not just plenty of parrots to talk to, but, there are also pheasants and guinea fowl. Fisheries Road, Yarrumun (08 9076 1284).

Beaches

Cape Le Grand National Park
Located 48km southeast of Esperance, this park has beautiful scenery and is abundant with native wildlife. There is a marked 15km walking trail that has great coastal views (08 9071 3733).
