Penguin Island (Western Australia)
Penguin Island () is a 12.5 ha island off the coast near Perth, Western Australia, 700 m from Rockingham. It is home to a colony of approximately 1,200 little penguins, the largest population of the birds in Western Australia. The waters surrounding the island make up the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park.

== Getting to the Island ==
Regular ferries 〔http://www.penguinisland.com.au/penguin-island-ferry.html#.VlOzA_krK00〕 carry tourists to and from the island and other marine-park sights, the journey taking 5 minutes from Mersey point. The island can also be reached by private boat, kayaking, swimming, or walking across a tidal sandbar, which is often exposed above sea level at low tide for a large portion of its 700-metre length, however at high tide, most of the sandbar is under varying depths of water. The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) advises against the sandbar walk as weather conditions can change quickly, making the crossing dangerous, which has resulted in several drownings.〔(Two drown as sandbar warning is ignored ) The Australian/AAP 29 December 2010〕〔http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/fatal-decision-dads-chose-to-walk-deadly-penguin-island-sandbar/story-e6frg13u-1226581002558〕
