Grand sands (#17 in series: fresh, clean, but “stained”)

 

After taking in the panoramic view across Thistle Cove – as featured in this series’ previous chapter – we walked down to the beach.

This post’s photos offer a closer view of the “stained” water and sand that were visible in the bottom right side of #16’s photo.

You are looking at a freshwater spring’s waters flowing onto the beach at Thistle Cove.

Grand sands (#16 in series: “next door” to “the best beach in the world”)

 

By the shortest, sensible road route,  Esperance is a whisker under 700 kilometres southeast of Perth, and just under 400 ks south of Kalgoorlie.

A further, easy 50 kilometres drive, east of Esperance, will take you to “the best beach in the world”, according a 2023 list of “The World’s 50 Best Beaches”.

You are not looking at it!

This post’s photo shows the very next beach, westward; my beloved and I are not alone in liking it rather more than we do the adjacent, “best” one.

Esperance & Ravensthorpe shires: wild coasts, astonishing flora…

 

My beloved and I have recently returned from a couple of weeks in one of our favourite parts of “our” planet.

Its coastscapes are magnificently “big wide screen”.

Cape Arid National Park, Cape Le Grand National Park and Fitzgerald River National Park are even more jaw-dropping at the “micro” level – one should always pay close attention to the ground immediately in front of one’s feet!

The featured image looks east from Belinup Hill to Mt Arid/Cape Arid.
