Rottnest Island Landscape Photos – Aerial Images – Beaches – Facilities

Welcome to my Rottnest Island photo page. Here you will find some examples of my landscape and aerial photos of Rottnest Island that have been printed and shipped to customers. Along with the collection of images we have of Rottnest Island available for you to purchase.

Rottnest Island is located 18 km off the coast of Western Australia, near Fremantle. Discovered in 1696 by Willem de Vlamingh, a Dutch mariner. At the time he thought Rottnest’s quokkas looked like giant rats, so he named the island Rat’s Nest Island, or in Dutch, Rottenest Island. The ‘e’ was eventually dropped and today it is also affectionately called Rotto by local West Australians.

Little Salmon Bay is located not far from the main Rottnest tourist area and is a short bus ride or a 15-minute bike ride. It is a well-protected beach area with pristine blue water and white sand.

Below is our collection of photos taken at Rottnest Island over the years. We were able to get amazing blue sky conditions and well worth the effort of riding around the island with your photographic gear and the thousands of flies that are there to join you on your bike journey. lol.

Bathurst Lighthouse is a short walk from the main tourist hub at Thomson Bay and from the popular Basin swimming area.

The Basin swimming area is the most popular location on the island to have a swim as it is a short walk from where the ferry docks and the main accommodation area on Rottnest. The Basin is a beautiful spot, popular for snorkeling and just living that beach life. This image is one of the most popular photos of Rottnest in our gallery.
