Located in the Duke of Orleans Bay on the southern coast of Cape Le Grand National Park in Western Australia, Wharton Beach is a four and a half-kilometer long and wide crescent-shaped white sand beach with many rocky portions. It is considered one of the best surfing spots in the Esperance region. The beach is tucked between the spur of Cheyne Point and the lower slopes of Mount Belches along the shores of Wharton Bay and has a beautiful backdrop of dunes and coastal vegetation, which together provide incredible views of Recherche Archipelago Nature Reserve and the Pacific Ocean. During heavy rain, two freshwater streams form shallow lagoons in the deflation basins. The beach is part of Cape Le Grand National Park, which preserves the fragile ecosystem, including coastal landscapes, woodlands, heathlands, and native biodiversity of the region.
