Observatory Beach by

Another part of the magnificent coastal scenery of Esperance in the far south east of Western Australia. Located on the edge of the mighty Southern Ocean in the Recherche Archipelago, Esperance is the principal holiday town for the Goldfields and also for those residents of Perth who don’t mind the 750 kms drive. These days, however, more and more people fly down (an hour and a half) and rent a car on arrival.
Many world travellers who include Esperance on their itinerary say without hesitation that the beaches here are by far the best they have seen anywhere and who am I to argue with that!
This photo was taken from the car park at Observatory Point, about 8 kms out of town, and we are looking west along the seemingly endless line of beaches that stretches into infinity.

    Absolutely stunning, Peter! And I know that this is the exact colour of the waters in that part of the world – bluer than blue!! This is such a beautiful region with the most fantastic beaches and you have captured this one superbly, my friend!

  • Thanks very much for the visit and these lovely words Anne-Marie. It is very hard to drag oneself away from Esperance. Peter

    They dont get any better than the beaches in Esperance (in my opinion). Stunning shot here, I grew up in a town two hours drive from here, I used to spend many weekends at these beautiful waters. Nice work.

  • Hi Danielle and very many thanks for the visit and nice words. I think this is everybody’s dream location, for sure. Peter
