Grab a coffee and settle in to the first section of your Great Ocean Drive, stopping at West Beach, Blue Haven Beach, Salmon Beach, and Fourth Beach. Marvel at the granite boulders and formations rising from the water. Watch out for schools of salmon that run along the coast (December to February). For expansive views of Esperance Bay and Twilight Beach, call in at Observatory Point. You might also see dolphins and migrating whales (June to October).
