Whether you’re back ashore in time for lunch or afternoon tea, there are plenty of waterfront cafes and restaurants just a short walk from the jetty. If you get back to shore early, you can take a short drive south and hop on a five-minute ferry ride or a 45 minute wildlife cruise to explore neighbouring Shoalwater Islands Marine Park – the home of Western Australia’s largest colony of little penguins, as well as rare Australian sea lions and seabirds. Return to Rockingham for the 40 minute journey back to Perth, following Patterson Road and Thomas Road to join the Kwinana Freeway heading north.
