Esperance residents are begging holiday-makers to steer clear of slippery rocks after a New South Wales man died at almost the same place another visitor lost his life just four months ago.
Police said the 44-year-old was taking pictures of dolphins at Chapmans Point, only kilometres from the town centre, when he fell from rocks into the water on Sunday.
Esperance Surf Life Saving duty officer Chris Brien said five members of the man's family were at the scene.
