Little Salmon Bay

Natural Attractions

Located at one of the southern-most tips of the island, Little Salmon Bay is one of the more popular bays on Wadjemup / Rottnest Island. Its naturally-sheltered location makes for calm, clear waters, perfect for families looking for a relaxing swimming experience.

It’s an excellent spot for snorkelling and exploring under the waves. Follow the Little Salmon Bay snorkel trail to discover more about the plethora of Wadjemup sea life.

Some lucky beachgoers might even have the fortune to spot the rare Australian sea lion lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun. But if you do see one, be sure to watch it from a distance rather than getting up close, and let it enjoy its time on the beach, too.
