Take the boardwalk route from Ellen Cove at Albany's glorious Middleton Beach, right around the coastline to the town's port. Work those calves walking over Mt Melville and - at the right time of year - look out for whales in the cove.

This 7km coastal trail is just east of Esperance on the southern coast, and isn't for the faint of calf-muscle. But, it's worth it for the whale watching, incredible views, and the challenge.

5. Greens Pool to Elephant Cove

The south coast town of Denmark is absolute peak nature. Greens Pool is filled with natural rock structures, and you can climb over the rocks (or hike a trail) over to Elephant Cove. 10/10 would recommend.
