Great Ocean Drive
A coastal self-drive loop about 40 km west of town, linking Twilight Beach, Observation Point, Blue Haven, a wind farm, and Pink Lake.
The loop starts on Esperance's seafront boulevard and passes the Rotary Lookout, Blue Haven, Salmon Beach, Fourth Beach, Twilight Beach, Observation Point, and the Ten Mile Lagoon wind farm, before returning to town via Pink Lake. The whole route is about 40 km. Driving without stopping takes about an hour, while a half day is recommended if you want to stop for photos. Many viewpoints along the way have parking and walking trails, and the water shifts from emerald green to deep blue. The drive is free and fully sealed. Watch for wildlife along the roadside.
