MARGARET RIVER + ESPERANSE
Where Coastal Beauty Meets Vineyard Elegance
Hit the road for a few hours south from Perth and you’ll find yourself entering Margaret River, or as the locals refer to it ‘Margs’. Famed for world-class wine, this place is ideal for those wanting to enjoy the local produce. There are loads of wineries in the region, so it’s not hard to find a tour and get merry for an afternoon.
​
Margaret River isn’t just known for its world-class waves and big wave surfers. It’s a super cruisey surfy beach town trimmed with incredible beaches. Adventurous types need to take a drive down Caves Road, home to multiple naturally formed caves. Check out the stalagmites and stalactites at the likes of Mammoth Cave or Lake Cave.
​
Esperance, further down and round the coast from Margaret River, is an unmissable spot for any West Coast trip. Expect Pink Lakes, tons of wildlife, and more world-class beaches. Cape Le Grand National Park is the creme de la creme of Esperance, so here you’ll make friends with wild kangaroos on the beach whilst embarking on some of Australia’s best walking trails.
