Lucky Bay

[2] Located southeast of Esperance, the bay is a tourist spot known for its bright white sands and turquoise-coloured waters.

[3][4] Matthew Flinders had sailed into the hazardous Archipelago of the Recherche, and he found his ship surrounded by islands and rocks with nightfall coming on.

The master sounded round the ship, but nothing was found to injure the cables; and except the water being shallow in the north-west corner of the bay, there was no danger to be apprehended, unless from strong south-west winds.

"[6]In 2017 it was scientifically tested as having the whitest sand in Australia, possibly the world, knocking Hyams Beach in NSW off its perch.

It is ideal for swimming, snorkelling, fishing, surfing, launching small boats and also for camping and whale watching.
