Wharton Beach

Wharton Beach is a remote white-sand beach on Duke of Orleans Bay near Condingup, about 90 kilometres east of Esperance in Western Australia's Goldfields-Esperance region. Part of the Shire of Esperance, it is known for its fine white sand, clear turquoise water and sheltered bay setting backed by dunes. The beach is popular for swimming, fishing, camping and four-wheel driving and is often listed among Australia's most scenic beaches.

Visitors can expect a long, curved stretch of fine white sand and clear turquoise water sheltered within Duke of Orleans Bay, backed by coastal dunes and low vegetation. The beach is largely undeveloped and accessed via unsealed roads and soft sand tracks. Visitors can swim, fish, walk along the shoreline, photograph the bay and offshore islands, and camp at the adjacent Duke of Orleans Bay campground. The setting is quiet and natural with no shops or lifeguard services on the beach itself.
