During the summer and shoulder seasons Rottnest Island is Perth's tropical island escape. Fantastic for snorkelling, swimming, boating, relaxing and of course the famous Quokka selfie.

spoilt for choice with great beaches dotting the coast line and that's only the "CITY" beaches. Scarbs has just undergone a redevelopment and is well worth having a look. Apparently the pool has now opened but why swim in the pool when the pristine water are 20m away
