About Rockingham

The Shoalwater Bay Beach and surrounding areas are perfect for all water sports including swimming, fishing, crabbing, snorkeling, boating, and windsurfing.

You can either walk to Penguin Island at low tide or take the ferry, except during the penguin breeding season.

Peaceful Lake Richmond is just around the corner, with the Naragebup Environment Centre just opposite.

Point Peron offers great walking opportunities, and is a terrific place for dolphin spotting.

At Old Rockingham Beach you will find a selection of cafes and restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Nearby Safety Bay is a favourite for windsurfers, while the jetty at Palm Beach is popular for fishing and crabbing, as the water there is more than 15 metres deep.

Rockingham City Shopping Centre, open seven days a week during the holidays, offers an endless array of popular stores.

Or just around the corner you have the convenience of the Shoalwater Shopping Centre's dozen specialty stores including a supermarket open seven days a week all year round, a fish and chip shop, The George and the Dragon Hotel, a bakery, a chemist and a newsagent.

Mandurah, with its waterfront holiday town feel and Fremantle with its European style cafe strip are both less than half an hour's drive away.

There are bus services linking Shoalwater with the local area and providing access to Fremantle and Mandurah.
