Esperance Beaches Guide

7. Little Hellfire Bay Little Hellfire Bay is not to be missed. It is often one of the quieter beaches in Cape Le Grand National Park because it requires the longest walk from the car park. And this “longest walk” totals a mere 15 minutes. The beach is very small but very protected from the wind. The best time to visit Little Hellfire Bay is in the afternoon. It’s one of the beaches that’s a great option on a strong easterly or south-easterly because it is so well protected. The bay is literally dwarfed by headlands so even in those strong easterly or south-easterly winds, the bay is calm. Photography-wise – late afternoon is our recommendation – shooting back onto Little Hellfire Bay with the sun lighting up the surrounding rocks. While this is best achieved with a drone, please be mindful to follow CASA regulations and note that no drone usage should be carried out with other visitors in the bay. The best viewpoint of Little Hellfire Bay is from the rock you enter the beach on. You can climb up this rock (which forms part of the coastal track) to gain some elevation and look back down on the bay. (CAPE LE GRAND)
