At Rottnest Island you can find wonderful beaches - we had the whole bay to ourselves. A bus service runs or you can hire a bike to get around as there are no cars on the island. Also, the Pinnacles has beautiful views and is worth a trip to see
Catch a ferry from Freemantle to Rottnest. The Pinnicles is about three hours' drive north of Perth
Pinnacles is a poor day out. Nothing to see on the way and underwhelming when you get there. Rotto Island is lovely though!Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
