Natural Attractions

With beautiful ocean views, rolling, lazy sand dunes, and some of Wadjemup / Rottnest Island’s best surfing conditions, Strickland Bay, also known as Stricko’s, is proud to be home to one of Western Australia’s most consistent surf breaks. Curving along the southern side of the isthmus, this bay delivers almost-perfect water conditions.

Surfers and bodyboarders flock to the area to take advantage of the heavy A-frame waves that break over the shallow reef, providing good opportunities for frequent barrels.

It’s a gripping surf spot — but with its known challenges, it’s best suited to more advanced surfers. But be sure to go when the water’s at high tide, too, otherwise you run the risk of ending up on the dry reef.
