About this place
What to expect
A bucket-list beach thanks to its naturally hollowed out reef, it's easy to see why The Basin is one of the most popular beaches on Wadjemup / Rottnest Island. Located just a 10-minute walk from the main settlement, it's the perfect place to relax and reconnect as you feel the soft sand between your toes and the warm sun on your face. Take a dip in the safe, protected waters or put on your mask and snorkel to discover another world below the surface with an abundance of species of fish, as well as beautiful purple, pink and brown shades of coral. Recently refurbished, make the most of the new outdoor showers, BBQs and toilet facilities — perfect for your family fun day.
