Pink Lake near Esperance on Western Australia's far southern coastline is a popular natural attraction. Just a short drive from town, Pink Lake is a salt plain which, in the right weather conditions, appears pink. The pink colour of the lake is due to the high concentration of salt tolerant algae. For the best view and excellent photographs, take a walk to Pink Lake lookout. A sunglass lens placed in front of your camera will create a dramatic effect, or even better, use a polarising filter. Esperance is an eight hour drive from Perth or you can fly there around in two hours.
