South Pink Lake Lake Hillier is located on Middle Island off the Esperance in southern Western Australia and can only be seen in full by helicopter or plane, which, combined with the ever-present mystery of why the water is pink, makes it a mystery tour destination.
Pink Lake is also located in Esperance in the south, about 7 km from the town, and since the lake only appears pink in certain weather conditions, you need to be lucky enough to see it!
Hutt Lagoon is the most accessible one in these three lakes, either for land tour or air viewing, and the most popular one in Western Australia. it is is located less than an hour at north of Geraldton. Hutt Lagoon became another name card after Lancome's lipstick was shotted here.
