Located approximately 50 km East of Esperance, Cape Le Grand is one of Western Australia 's best known and most spectacular National Parks. Pristine and perfect are two words that reflect the absolute beauty of Lucky Bay. Here you will find an ocean coloured all imaginable shades of blue, sand so white and fine that it squeaks between your toes and the extraordinary sight of kangaroos sunbathing on the beach - just incredible!
Enjoy a picnic (some tables are provided) and explore marvellously sculpted rock formations that capture the sounds of the wind and waves. Explore the walk trail around Thistle Cove and walk to the magnificent Lucky Bay and in season enjoy a kangachino and if you are really lucky see the Kangaroo on the beach that has been so extensively photographed. Swim, dive, snorkel or just walk on the whitest beaches you can imagine - or drive along the beach if you have an adequately prepared 4WD and the weather and beach conditions make it safe to do so!

For a pristine white beach in one of the world's most idyllic national parks head to Lucky Bay.

Best of all Lucky Bay stretches for five kilometres so, if you’re at Lucky Bay and you crave peaceful tranquillity, it’s only a short stroll away.

A sculpture of a whale tail is not an entirely new idea but what was created here as the centrepiece of a multi-million dollar project to beautify the Esperance foreshore is a beautiful set of linear shapes, which says as much about the negative space as it says about the structure itself. The steel, wood and glass sculpture is an iconic masterpiece which sits in idylic surroundings on the Esperance foreshore.
