"Esperance is absolutely stunning—crystal-clear water, white sandy beaches, and a laid-back vibe. We walked out on Tanker Jetty and watched stingrays glide through the shallows—such a peaceful spot. The nearby beaches are some of the best in Australia. Can’t wait to go back."

"Beautiful walk along the jetty today, warm but a bit windy, and a fantastic view at the end.
The big ships were waiting to be filled or emptied and the islands looked beautiful.
Plenty of people were fishing and I had a chat to a couple of locals, very friendly.
There are benches along the way and good info boards to let you know what happened and when."

"Ok, I like jetties. I might even go for a fish. It looks like lots of squid have been caught from here, ink all over it, nice and deep water, and have shelters at the end to get out of the wind and rain. Has been rebuilt at some stage due to the pylons being eaten out by bugs. Good for a look over the bay. Free"
