the foreshoreEsperance’s Bay of Isles

There are few places in the world where a five minute walk from the centre of town can bring you to the beach. The Esperance waterfront celebrates our glorious coastline by linking the foreshore to the CBD. Unique landscaping presents a myriad of native plants, whilst historical art installations tell the tale of our ever evolving beach front.

Jetty Headland Precinct

A waterside drawcard in town is the Jetty Headland precinct. Lush green lawns and native plantings are perfectly landscaped, with gas BBQs, toilets, showers and plenty of picnic shelters and seating scattered throughout the park. There are also food and drink vendors onsite covering your caffeine and takeaway needs, as well as a popular ocean themed nature playground with textural features designed to enhance the imagination and keep the kids entertained.

ADVENTURELAND PARK & MINIATURE RAILWAY

Located on the Esplanade, close to the town centre, the newly built Adventureland Playground is perfect for the kids to climb, zip-line, swing and run wild. Explore the pathways through tranquil gardens and feed the resident ducks. Kids of all ages can ride the Miniature Railway (open holidays and weekends from October through to April and opening at 9am).

JAMES ST. PRECINCT

The James Street Precinct is a key part of the waterfront, providing direct beach access close to the town centre, as well as an “all abilities” playground for younger children / toddlers. Featuring picnic shelters, gas BBQs, enclosed swimming area, large shaded area, seating with ocean views, landscaped lawns, beach access stairs, showers and toilet facilities.

Don’t forget to take your photo in front of the iconic Whale Tail Sculpture (created by local artists Cindy Poole and Jason Wooldridge).

Taylor Street Jetty

Wander the Taylor Street Jetty precinct and admire the vessels penned up at the dock. Take a stroll along the beach in front of the Esperance Bay Yacht Club and view the giant ships loading up at the working port.

SKATE PARK & pump track

The Esperance Skate Park and Pump Track precinct is surrounded by an expansive grassed area and situated right on the town waterfront recreational areas. The skate park is utilised by all generations with the design incorporating a number of different skate elements to provide continued progression for beginners through to experienced users. The Esperance pump track contains three endless loops with rollers and berms and a pump bowl designed to be ridden without pedaling, instead using a pumping motion, pulling up on the face of rollers and pushing down on the backside. The pump track is suitable for mountain bikes, BMX and cross bikes to improve mountain biking skills.

The Jetty Resort provides a variety of accommodation options to suit all budgets and travellers, and there’s a style to match every visitor’s needs.
