Stokes National Park

Stokes Inlet is the largest estuary around Esperance and is surrounded by bush and shady paperbark trees. If you’re visiting for the day explore the historical Moir Homestead Ruins, take a walk on the trails and spot the birdlife on the water. There is coastal scenery from the inlet offering ocean fishing and sandy beaches with good swimming. The vegetation includes mostly coastal heath, scrub and areas of dense low forest. Trees are mainly yate and paperbarks. Fauna includes the grey kangaroos, occasionally seals and more than 40 different types of bird life. There are a number of campgrounds available. The park is 80 kilometres west of Esperance, encompasses Stokes Inlet and features long beaches and rocky headlands backed by sand dunes and low hills. The inlet and associated lakes support a variety of wildlife. There is no water available here or at the camping areas.
