A Day at Pinky Beach, Rottnest Island

#favouriteitinerary 🌊 Paradise Found: A Day at Pinky Beach, Rottnest Island #favouriteitinerary Pinky Beach is one of Rottnest’s most beautiful spots — soft white sand, turquoise water, and the iconic Bathurst Lighthouse watching over it. Here’s a relaxed yet fun itinerary for your visit: 🌅 Morning: Beach Bliss 1. Arrival & Beach Set-Up (9:00 AM) • Pinky Beach is just a 10-minute walk or 5-minute cycle from Thomson Bay (the main ferry drop-off point). • Set up your spot near the lighthouse for the best views! 2. Swim & Snorkel (9:30 AM – 11:00 AM) • The clear, shallow waters make this perfect for a relaxing swim or some light snorkeling. • Keep an eye out for tropical fish near the rocky outcrops! 🏞️ Midday: Explore & Adventure 3. Walk to Bathurst Lighthouse (11:15 AM – 11:45 AM) • A short, scenic walk up the hill — stunning panoramic views of Pinky Beach, The Basin, and the Indian Ocean. • Great for photos, especially with that classic white lighthouse backdrop. 4. Quokka Spotting Break (12:00 PM) • Quokkas love the shaded spots around Pinky’s and along the path back to Thomson Bay — grab a cute selfie (but no feeding them!). 🍽️ Lunch with a View 5. Lunch at Pinky’s Beach Club (12:30 PM – 2:00 PM) • Located right behind the dunes, part of Discovery – Rottnest Island. • Fresh seafood, local produce, and cold drinks — try the seafood platter or a classic fish and chips. • Sip a cocktail while overlooking the ocean. 🌊 Afternoon: Chill & Unwind 6. Relax on the Beach (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM) • Lounge under the sun, dip back into the ocean, or read a book with the sound of the waves. • If you’re up for it, head to The Basin (a short ride away) for a second swim — the natural rock pools are stunning. 🌅 Sunset Magic 7. Sunset Drinks at Pinky’s Beach Club (5:00 PM – 6:30 PM) • Watch the sun sink into the ocean — the sky often turns shades of pink and orange, perfectly matching the beach’s name! • A WA wine or a sunset cocktail makes it even better. ✨ Pro Tips: • What to pack: Towel, sunscreen, hat, and snorkel gear. • Bike hire: Easy to park your bike near the beach entrance. • Ferry reminder: Keep track of your return ferry time — it’s easy to lose track in paradise!
