This area is simply beauitful. So many birds.... like horror movie number of birds. The only downside is the people that dont seem to understand its a conservation area. They bring their rubbish, and their music and drown out the natural beauty with their drama. The other issue is small cars taking up trailer bays in the parking area. Its very hard to park with your trailer and kayaks because people are pretty inconsiderate with the way they park. As always, its the people that ruin a good thing.

Just south of Rockingham and easily accessible from Perth, this Marine Park is an undiscovered gem. Catch a ferry across to Penguin Island then do the 45 min boat cruise past Seal Island and 3 other islands that are sanctuaries with the Marine Park. really worth it. We saw Ospreys nesting, seals, sea lions, pelicans and a host of sea birds, and had a knowledgeable guide. Water is crystal clear and the glass bottom boat allows viewing of the sea grasses and the odd school of fish.

We were blessed to take our granddaughter to the beach and we were surprised to see a mom and baby dolphin cavorting in the grass line just meters from shore. Mom was catching what looked like King George whiting and tossing it in the air and providing baby with an easy feed. We stood mesmerised for 45 minutes or so and came away with a special experience in God's creation.

An absolute Gem near Rockingham. This area is so accessible and has so much to discover. We did a kayaking day with Rivergods kayak tours. We went out to Penguin Island then right across to Seal Island. The wildlife was amazing. The scenery just beautiful around these islands. Highly recommend a day trip to the area.

Beautiful place with many tiny islands with the largest one being the Penguins island. Dolphins, sea lions and pelicans can be easily spotted. More difficult to spot penguins since there are only around 130 left on the Penguins island (and during the hot season since they hide from the sun when it is hot).

A beautiful area with lots to see. Great natural untouched area. Plenty of marine life to see from underwater, on or above. Great spot for a stand up paddle board or kayak on the right days. Seals, dolphins, fish and sharks are abundant. A most see spot of Perth.
