Similar to Eleven Mile Lagoon, Ten Mile Lagoon is also protected by a stretch of reef (about 20-30 metres from the shore), making it a perfect place for a sheltered swim. To access the beach, take the scenic wooden staircase straight from the car park. (Dogs are allowed)
However, unlike Eleven Mile Lagoon, where visiting on high tide is preferable, low tide is best for Ten Mile Lagoon. This is because the reef opens up on either side, ensuring the lagoon is always filled with water. On low tide (and low swell), the waves don't make it over the reef, meaning the lagoon is extremely calm and protected.
There is a viewing platform which provides fantastic views over the whole stretch of coastline, all the way to Eleven Mile Lagoon and to Observatory Beach.
Ten Mile Lagoon is also Esperance's dedicated clothing-optional beach (the section is marked as a 200 metres stretch to the west of the stairs).
