Duke of Orleans Bay

Duke of Orleans Bay is a large, scenic coastal bay located near Condingup, about 90 km east of Esperance in Western Australia. Renowned for its powder-white sand, turquoise waters and offshore islands, it encompasses popular beaches including Wharton Beach. The bay is a popular destination for camping, fishing, swimming and four-wheel driving, offering a remote and natural coastal experience within the Shire of Esperance on the state's south coast.

Visitors can expect a remote, natural bay with long stretches of white sandy beach, clear turquoise water and views of offshore islands including Wharton Beach within the bay. The setting is largely undeveloped with coastal dunes, native vegetation and open ocean. Visitors can explore beaches on foot or by 4WD, swim and fish from the shore, launch small boats, camp at the foreshore caravan park, and enjoy sightseeing and photography of the pristine coastline.
