Wharton Beach, Little wharton
Wharton Beach, Little wharton and the next bay across.
Depending on what you're after, we got some nice squid in the bay just to the south east of orleans bay and the herring were in plague proportions. It is protected in the southerly/south westerly too.

The more permanant folks in
The more permanant folks in the caravan park said Orleans Bay was good for sharks at night though with kids, we were dinnering and preping for bed at sunset.
Have you ever been down there before?
Wharton Beach is like a highway and according to the fishing shop in Esperance is good for salmon though we spent days there and didnt see any signs of fish. They say that the fish are there though.
At the western end of Wharton Bay is a short sand track that takes you to Victoria Harbour. That is a much better beach (in my opinion) and looks like it would be a prime spot for whiting.
If you are taking kids down, take boogey boards
