City of York Bay

📖 About City of York Bay

City of York Bay is a secluded cove on the northwestern tip of Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), Western Australia, named after the iron ship City of York that wrecked on the nearby reef in 1899 after sailing from San Francisco. The shallow reef shelters clear, calm water rich in stingrays, tropical fish, and marine life, making it one of the island's better spots for snorkelling and hand-line fishing. It's a quieter alternative to the island's busier beaches, ideal for those who want to combine history with relaxed reef exploration.
