Penguin Island Shoalwater
Rockingham
153 Arcadia Ave, Shoalwater.
Penguin Island is a small island just 700m off the coast of Rockingham, part of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park.
What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in wildlife wonders, home to a colony of over 1000 Little Penguins, along with dolphins, sea lions and heap of other aquatic life.
it’s just 45 minutes drive from Perth City in the suburb of Shoalwater, part of Rockingham. The easiest way to get there is set your maps to Rockingham Wild Encounters, who are also a good start for your ferry over to Penguin Island, or a bigger boat cruise to explore the Marine Park proper.
Ferries run every hour from 9am-4pm every day and you can get tickets that also include a visit to the Discovery Centre on the island that gets you up close and personal to the island’s namesake.
Penguin Island itself is public land, and as such there’s no charge to be on the island, and it’s yours to explore!
Outside of visiting the Discovery Centre, the island is a fantastic place to spend the day by the water swimming, snorkelling and even surfing when the conditions are right.
The Penguin Island Board Walk Trail is a 1.5km loop that takes you around the island, with a few different lookout points where you’ll likely see birds of the flying variety (pelicans and other nesting seabirds are also fans of the island).
