One of many nice spots around Esperance, Western Australia. / Captured using Nikon D300, 18 – 200 lens. Featured in Nikon DSLR Users group 10/01/2009 / Featured in SEA group 20/01/2009 / Featured in Going Coastal group 29/06/2009 / Featured in At the edge group 05/07/2009
This is an old photo I took when living in Esperance WA. It was taken with my k1000 and a cokin filter. I scanned it and cleaned it up. I love the way the water glows as it comes up on the beach. If you like this photo maybe you should look at Laverton sunrise 2.
This pic makes me sad for all the times I’ve eaten lamb. / And happy that I never will again. :) Taken in Esperance WA, with a Canon 5D and 24-105mm L Series lens @ ISO 800, f.6, 1/250th sec, Av mode, handheld. Featured in the Woman Photographer Group & Photography 101 Group June 2009. Placed 5th in Farm Animals Challenge, June 2009.
Another of my Esperance coastal shots.
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.

How on earth this beach came by it’s name I honestly don’t know. Perhaps it CAN get rough. Perhaps it WAS rough the day it was discovered and named! Being on the Southern Ocean and exposed to the strong swells that roll in from the Antarctic that is a likely scenario but we have been here 3 or 4 times and on each occasion “Peaceful Bay” would have been a far more appropriate name! The location is on the shores of Cape Le Grande National Park some 50 kms east of Esperance in the far south east of Western Australia, some 750 kms by road from Perth. I have to say that being here is nothing short of idyllic! Peter
When I took this shot I swear there were about 20 dolphins down there!

From the roadside car parking area we look down on West Bay and out across the Southern Ocean and the Recherche Archipelago. Hard to believe we are just a couple of minutes drive from the busy town centre. Esperance is about 750 kms south of Perth, Western Australia and slightly less than 350 kms south of Kalgoorlie and the goldfields, for which it serves as the number one holiday destination. / Taken with Sony Alpha 350 / 18-70 Sony kit lens with x4 neutral density filter
The name means that it is 9 miles west from the town of Esperance. There are also 10 mile and 11 mile beaches!! LOL There is a real bay of islands out there which are a haven for marine animals such as seals. The Southern Ocean really is this colour – no touching up whatsoever has been done on this photo, other than straightening the horizon slightly. Esperance is the favoured holiday destination for the West Australian goldfields, being a mere easy 3 hour drive from Kalgoorlie.
Another scene from our trip to Esperance last Spring. Esperance is on the Southern Ocean some 700+ kms south east of Perth, Western Australia
This is the zoomed view west from Observatory beach lookout a few k’s west of Esperance, Western Australia. We are looking at Nine Mile and Ten mile beaches and the road we are on is a most delightful scenic drive that is a must for every visitor to this town. The beaches of Esperance, which are all part of the Recherche Archipelago, have often been referred to by global travellers as the finest in the world and I am not about to dispute that. / Despite the fact that it is over 700 kms from Perth, we have visited the area several times, either back in the days when we were working or else during the rather more recent years of our retirement. / Photo taken with my Sony Alpha 350 dslr using a 55-200 lens with neutral densityfilter and tripod mounted.
Just beautiful isnt it??
One of the many beaches of Esperance, way down in the far south east of Western Australia some 700+ kms from Perth. Esperance is on the Recherche Archipelago (a part of the Southern Ocean) and just off shore are several small islands inhabited by seals. Twilight Cove is linked to Esperance and several of the other beaches by an excellent dual use footpath/cycleway which stretches for several kms.
The scene from above West Beach at Esperance, some 700 kms south east of Perth, Western Australia. The pleasure boat cruises the islands on both a daily and half day basis and takes trippers and holiday makers to out of shot Woody Island. En route it pulls in close to many of the bay’s islands for a close and personal look at the many sea lion colonies as well as sea eagles, penguins etc. We did a half day cruise a couple of years ago and it was pure magic.
Grevillea baxteri or Cape Arid Grevillea grows to 3.6m high and flowers during most of the year with brown, red, orange flowers in sandy soils and its natural location is Esperance in the South of Western Australia. It is a Priority Four listing. / info from florabase.calm.wa.gov.au The photo was taken in Kings Park in Perth WA
Just one of the many pristine beaches at Esperance, Western Australia.
