24 Best and Fun Things To Do In Esperance, Australia


TouristWire Editors

In a country that’s practically overflowing with natural beauty and unique places to visit, it can be difficult to decide where to go.

However, the remote town of Esperance is a huge contender in this regard, especially when you consider its beaches.

The coastline alone will be enough to convince you to come here, given its shimmering turquoise waters and long stretches of soft, white sand.

That being said, there are plenty of other activities and attractions to be had here, starting with the town itself.

If you happen to be visiting on a weekend, be sure to check out the Esperance Markets to get a taste of local life.

In the evenings, go for a stroll along the esplanade to watch the sunset, grab a bite to eat at one of the BBQ joints, or order fish and chips from one of the takeout vans lining the shorefront.

These are just a few suggestions of what to do while you’re here, if you’re interested in learning more be sure to check out the list of ideas below
