Saturday, 1 November – Lucky Bay

Cape Le Grand NP, near Esperance, is very popular, as we found when we tried to get a camp spot at Le Grand Beach.  It was full.  We ended up down the road at Lucky Bay which is also popular and where, before lunchtime, we got the last vacant campsites.

The almost pure white sand of Lucky Bay and the nearby bays makes the water appear a beautiful turquoise colour. The sand is very firm and squeaks as you walk along the beach.  The beach is easy to drive on and even the coffee caravan has its own parking spot along the beach. 

Matthew Flinders anchored in the bay in 1802 and discovered the many and varied wildflowers we saw on our walks over the last couple of days.
