Great Ocean Drive & Cape Le Grand — Esperance Coast Loop.
A day exploring the dazzling coast around Esperance on Western Australia's remote south edge. The 40km Great Ocean Drive loops past Twilight Beach and a string of granite headlands west of town, then a paved run east enters Cape Le Grand National Park beneath Frenchman Peak to Lucky Bay — squeaky-white sand, turquoise water and sunbathing kangaroos. Easy paved riding with world-class scenery.
