Traditional Land of: Noongar People
No visit to Western Australia could ever be considered complete without a trip through the Esperance area. There are few more magnificent places on Earth than this land of white beaches and gorgeous blue waters. If you’re a fan of coastal landscapes, then this is the spot for you! Nature lovers are sure to get a treat as they are able to enjoy a landscape that has managed to remain virtually unmarred thanks to the city’s isolated location.
Named for a French craft that took shelter in the area more than two centuries ago, this town today serves as a major tourist attraction for visitors to the region. As a harbor town, there is always shipping activity in the area, and you can even catch a port tour and learn more about the region if you’re there on the weekend. In addition to the harbor area, there are many other attractions and things to do.
For example, you can take a quick drive to the Pink Lake, which is a salt lake area that often has a pink hue due to the algae in the water. There are also enchanting markets every weekend, and plenty of old shops and other sites to explore in town.
Natural attractions are a major draw for tourists from around the world. There are several national parks within driving distance of the town, as well as a number of lakes and even an island retreat. And, of course, the aforementioned Pink Lake is always a popular curiosity as well. But there’s also plenty to do that doesn’t just involve passive observation. For the active travelers, there are plenty of physical activities to occupy the time.
Remember, this is a coastal city. That means plenty of fishing options, opportunities to get out on the water in a boat, and swimming and diving as well. Bring your snorkel and fins and be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime as you explore this majestic area on Australia’s coast!
