Visitors to Australia that are seeking the whitest sand, the bluest waters and the friendliest locals take heed: Esperance, Western Australia is where you need to be headed! Located on the southern coast of Western Australia, along the Great Southern Ocean and approximately a nine-hour-drive from the territorial capital of Perth, Esperance is the dream destination that visitors to this area of Australia simply can't afford to miss out on.
The main attraction of Esperance is its sheer, spell-binding natural beauty. In a town with less than 10,000 inhabitants it is rather difficult to expect much in the way of cosmopolitan pampering, so don't come down to Esperance in search of such vanities. The perfect example of the surrounding natural beauty is to be found at Cape Le Grand National Park, which lies just to the east of town and offers pristine beaches and untouched natural landscapes. Another nearby natural wonder to be enjoyed while in Esperance would be Pink Lake, one of many salt lakes in the area that is unique due to the red algae that inhabit its waters.
Esperance's climate is largely Mediterranean in nature, with warm and relatively dry summer months followed by chilly and damp winter months. During the summer months, a particularly intimidating natural phenomenon creates the Cyclops wave each year which attracts diehard surfers from around the planet, making Esperance buzz with action and new faces. The particularly thick and heavy wave is considered to provide one of the most thrilling (and dangerous, to be clear) surf rides on the planet.
An interesting little titbit about Esperance is the fact that in 1979 it was showered with debris from the recently-disintegrated Skylab, NASA's first space station. No major injuries or damages were incurred, though the Shire of Esperance did fine the US $400 for littering-a sum which was paid up in full only in 2009 by a US radio station, supposedly on NASA's behalf.
As far as Esperance accommodation options are concerned, visitors will find that no matter what their needs are-anything from executive suites to caravan parks and economy hostels-they will find a suitable place to stay. A few well-known possibilities include the Esperance Island View Apartments, the Hospitality Inn Esperance, and the Jetty Resort and Apartments.
