Shoal Cape Beach is a coastal beach within Stokes National Park, west of Esperance. Access requires a four-wheel drive vehicle, and the final approach to the beach itself is via a walking track with steps leading down to the sand. The beach is situated adjacent to Fanny Cove, and the area is known for its lovely coastal scenery, including a viewing platform. The overall character is remote and scenic, with access limited to a few visitors; there are three tiny tent sites and a bush toilet nearby. The beach is an ideal spot for diving, suggesting clear water and interesting underwater topography. The coastline features rocky heathlands, sand dunes, and small bays to the south of Fanny Cove that are designated for day use only. Paddlers should be aware that the park uses fox baits, and tiger snakes are known to frequent sections on the fringes of the inlet areas. The best seasons for visiting to enjoy the views are autumn and spring. The nearest supplies and proper accommodation are in Esperance, or at the Munglinup Roadhouse, which is 26 kilometers away.
