Howick is a rural locality of the Shire of Esperance in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, located on the Southern Ocean. The locality is home to a number of nature reserves and borders the Cape Arid National Park in the east.
Howick is on the traditional land of the Wudjari and Njunga people, both of the Noongar nation.
Only one sealed road passes through Howick, the west–east-running Fisheries Road which connects Esperance to Cape Arid National Park. Access to the locality's coastline is limited to a few unsealed roads and tracks and no road runs along the coastline. The nearest services to Howick are to the west, in Condingup.
Campsites near the coast are available at Membinup Beach, a basic bush camping site, and Alexander Bay. The beaches at Membinup and Alexander Bay are not patrolled by Surf Life Saving Australia but are listed on their website with information on the beach conditions and dangers.
