West End
Highlights
West End on Rottnest Island is a must-visit spot for those who love the rugged beauty of the coastline. At this western tip of the island, you'll find amazing views of the Indian Ocean and some of the best waves for surfing. It's also a fantastic spot for scuba diving or snorkeling, with the chance to see sea creatures like dolphins, whales, and even New Zealand fur seals up close!
Since West End is a bit more isolated than other parts of the island, it’s perfect for those who enjoy exploring nature in its raw form. It's a great spot for sight-seeing, so bring your camera to capture the incredible ocean views and maybe even a few dolphins or seals in the background. You can reach this area by bike or join the Rottnest Island Discover Tour for a more relaxed visit.
