Description
Within 45 minutes drive of Esperance, this grand park features sweeping heathlands, rugged coastal peaks and white sandy beaches voted the best in Australia.
The most spectacular coastal scenery is found in the south-west corner of Cape Le Grand National Park where massive granite and gneiss peaks rise from the coastal plain. The park's rolling heathlands are home to pygmy possums, western grey kangaroos and a diversity of colourful wildflowers including dense thickets of showy banksia.
Sheltered baysEnjoy a picnic in a sheltered nook overlooking the beach at Hellfire Bay or Lucky Bay, or explore the whistling rocks at Thistle Cove.
Beach funStroll along wide beaches where the sand squeaks underfoot or enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing, or recreational boating in the park’s picture-perfect bays. Boats may be launched with caution from Lucky Bay and Cape Le Grand Beach. The main recreation sites are located in the park's south-west corner. Dunn Rocks on the eastern side of the park is also a picturesque and popular fishing spot.
A walk on the wild sideExplore the park’s wild reaches on the Le Grand Coastal Trail, which links many of the park’s most spectacular coastal sections between Le Grand Beach and Rossiter Bay. If you still have energy to burn then a hike up Frenchman Peak (262m) will be rewarded with panoramic views of the park and islands in the Recherche Archipelago.
CampingLe Grand Beach and Lucky Bay campgrounds have gas barbecues, picnic tables, toilets and water. Rubbish bins are not provided in the park. Please take your rubbish with you, when you leave the park.
