Stokes National Park

Stokes National Park is in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia, with long beaches and numerous recreational opportunities.

The Stokes Inlet that lends the park its name offers many recreational activities on the water, in the surf or in the wetland.

The main camping and day area next to the mouth of the inlet is the usual spot but there are a couple other places in the park that are a bit off the beaten track.

The turn off for Stokes inlet Rd is about 80 km west of Esperance on the South Coast Hwy. Access to Quaggi Beach is via Farrels Rd, around 70 km from Esperance. To get to Fanny Cove, turn off at the 4WD track half way down Farrels Rd, on boundary of the last farm property. It is about 19 km further to Fanny Cove.

• 🌍 Stokes Estuary. This estuary is only connected to sea once in evert few years, and then only for a few weeks, as the high sand bar breaks, and is one of a kind to have this sort of landscape. (updated Nov 2021)
• 🌍 Torradup Inlet. Similar landscape to Stokes Estuary. (updated Nov 2021)

• 🌍 Margaret Cove. A fairly popular snorkelling and swimming spot. Fishing is also somewhat popular here, but it's not the best spot if you want to try and catch a big fish. (updated Nov 2021)
• Heritage Walk Trail. A 2.8 km trail passing through some of the mallee heath parts of the park, linking Benwenerup Campground to Stokes Inlet Day Use Area. (updated Nov 2021)

There are no cafes, bars, kiosks, restaurants etc. in the park. Bring your own food with you.
