Pinky beach

Pinky Beach is considered to be the best on Rottnest Island. The picturesque bay is calm and offers excellent beach vacations and fantastic views. Thanks to the unusual color of the beach in the sunset rays, it got its name "Pink Beach".

Beach description

Pinky Beach is located in a small bay the rocky areas of which serve as natural breakerwaters. The beach here is covered with fine light sand of the ocean bottom. Stones appear in deeper places. Water is warn, clean and transparent in the bay. The water entry is comfortable and safe.

Rottnest island provides few variants for dwelling rent. The most hotels are situated by the local pier, in close vicinity to the beach.

Rottnest island has small area (20 sq. km) but its entire territory is a natural reservation. Tourists have bicycle rides in the neighborhood, and enjoy the views. In the eastern part of the beach, an old lighthouse, built in 1900, is situated.

When is it better to go

The best time to visit Australia for a beach vacation largely depends on the region you plan to visit, but generally, the most ideal period is during the Australian summer, which runs from December to February. Here's a structured guide:

  • December to February: Peak Season - This is the height of summer and the most popular time for beachgoers. Expect warm temperatures, lively beach scenes, and plenty of sunshine, making it perfect for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing.
  • March to May: Shoulder Season - As Australia transitions into autumn, the weather remains warm enough for beach activities, but the crowds begin to thin out, offering a more relaxed experience.
  • June to August: Off-Peak Season - Winter in Australia can be cool, especially in southern regions, but northern areas like Queensland remain warm, offering a quieter and often more affordable beach holiday.
  • September to November: Shoulder Season - Spring brings rising temperatures and the rejuvenation of beach life. This is a great time to enjoy good weather and avoid the peak season crowds.

Ultimately, the best time for a beach vacation in Australia is when the weather suits your preference for beach activities and when you can enjoy the environment that aligns with your desired experience, whether that's a bustling summer beach or a serene autumn shore.
