Overview

Highlights

Located on the northern side of Rottnest Island, Little Parakeet Bay is about three kilometres from Thomson Bay. Ideal for swimming, the bay is known as a good, safe place for swimmers as its waters are shallow and well protected. The majority of the bay is hidden behind the rocky outcrop, beyond which there is a larger sandy beach with crystal clear still waters. The bay is littered with jagged rock formations which make a dramatic backdrop.
