Thomson Bay

Thomson Bay is your first look at Wadjemup / Rottnest Island as you arrive — a sweeping arc of white sand that sets the tone for the whole island. You'll anchor off here and take in the scene before heading ashore to explore one of WA's most iconic spots. The bay hums with energy, sitting right at the heart of the island's main settlement with beaches, cafes, and wildlife (quokkas!) all within easy reach.
