Perth's favourite holiday destination, Rottnest Island is a pretty good place for families couples and singles. The laid back approach is what Rottnest Island is all about, this island is not only just offering relaxation; this is good wholesome fun for everyone to enjoy.
The main settlement is Thompson Bay with the bulk of the infrastructure and ferry jetty strategically located. I used to travel to Rottnest Island nearly every weekend in summer and pretty frequently over winter for scuba diving rarely setting foot on the island. These days it is more sightseeing and less diving; a new but interesting concept for me.
Of the many bays of Rottnest Island, Thompson Bay by virtue of not only location is the most popular; Thompson Bay has plenty in the way of activities and scenery to keep people interested. Whilst pretty shallow, a number of scuba diving opportunities exist and snorkeling is very popular along with a glass bottom boat offering scenic tours for those not willing to get wet.
During the summer holidays, the moorings in Thompson Bay are busy. They are owned by individuals but can be used by other registered vessels if the owner is not using them. If the owner arrives, the boat moored has to get off for the registered owner so everyone gets a fair go. The mooring maintenance costs are naturally met by the owner but nobody minds a boat hooking up if they are not around.
