The day we spent here was one of the best of the trip. We woke early after a night of wind and rain, crossing our fingers that the weather would be kind. The sky was split into red and pink streaks, and we quickly got dressed and went for a long walk down the beach. It’s about 5km to get to the very end of the beach which took most of the morning as we wandered along, playing in the waves and looking out for the famous kangaroos.
At the end of the beach, we found a ray surfing in the shallow waves and swam with him for a while. It’s a beautiful place – it felt like we were in a dream most of the day. Lucky Bay is famous for having the whitest sand in Australia – in fact, it is so clean and pure that it squeaks beneath your feet when walking. We enjoyed exploring further throughout the national park – we hiked across the hill to Hellfire Bay, a pretty walk with another lovely beach at the other end.
To really take in the most of this area, we decided to book a scenic flight, taking us over the beautiful coastline of Cape Le Grand towards Cape Arid National Park, where the shocking pink Lake Hillier sits on Middle Island, just off the coast. It was a phenomenal view – I cannot recommend this scenic flight enough.
