Esperance Tanker Jetty
Tanker Jetty
A jetty extending into Esperance Bay, a place for strolling, fishing and watching sea lions, with a statue of the sea lion Sammy on the shore.
Built in the 1930s and once used for unloading oil tankers, Tanker Jetty is a town landmark and a favourite spot for locals to fish and stroll. After the old jetty was closed due to deterioration, the council built a new one on the same site. A statue of Sammy the sea lion on the shore commemorates a sea lion that often visited the jetty to beg for fish, and wild sea lions still appear in the bay from time to time. Nearby are the seaside park, a children's playground and cafés, making it a pleasant spot for an evening walk.
