Cape Arid National Park is a national park located in Western Australia, 731 kilometres (454 mi) southeast of Perth. The park is situated 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Esperance[3] and lies on the shore of the south coast from the eastern end of the Recherche Archipelago.
The bay at its eastern side is Israelite Bay, a locality often mentioned in Bureau of Meteorology weather reports as a geographical marker.[4] The western end is known as Duke of Orleans Bay.[5] Its coastline is defined by Cape Arid, a bay called Sandy Bight[6] and, further east, Cape Pasley.[7]
The locality of Cape Arid of the Shire of Esperance shares almost identical boundaries with the national park, the exception being a number of roads passing through the park and locality which are part of the later but not the former.[8][9][10][11]
