Between the tides
On the southern coast of Western Australia, Wylie Bay offers a surreal blend of white sand, turquoise surf, and rugged granite outcrops. This aerial view captures the freedom of beach driving, a popular pastime here in Esperance, where the sand is packed solid enough to support vehicles and the scenery is simply spectacular. Just be sure to check the tides before you go lest you get stuck on a sandbar or swamped in rising seawater. Missed your low-tide time window? Nearby Wylie Bay Rock offers a different angle, rewarding those who hike to the top with an oceanic panorama.
